For Fieldwork, design is about aspiration and practicality – an optimistic view in which things can be made better through design. Through creative yet systematic solutions, the built environment can be optimised for both functionality and enjoyment.

Fieldwork truly believes in the value of good design and takes great care in translating beauty and functionality into their projects. The design process starts with sound definition and analysis of the relevant questions. It ends with finding the optimal resolutions through space, form and shape.

This is a rare opportunity to join the leadership of an emerging practice and make a significant contribution towards the professional, commercial and cultural success of the firm and the positive change which it seeks to make in the industry.

The Project Architect role is required to manage projects from conception to completion, with the support of the team, and encompasses all aspects of town planning, design development, documentation, contract administration, quality control, project management, and client negotiation and management.

The suitable candidates will have at least 6 years of professional experience, including experience in the documentation and delivery of mid to large scale multi-residential projects. Other sector experience would be viewed favourably.
