What are the responsibilities and job description for the ArchiCAD Project Architect position at Kappa Executive Search?
This is a design-led architecture practice that sits in that sweet spot between a mid-sized studio and a larger, established firm. You get the structure, project scale and reputation of a bigger practice, without losing the day-to-day feel of a close-knit team.
They’ve built a strong reputation in the market, not just through award-winning projects, but through consistency. The studio has grown steadily, with a team that enjoys coming to work and a culture that is grounded, practical and easy to be part of.
Beyond the commercial work, they’re also committed to projects that have a broader social impact. Affordable housing, boarding houses and emergency accommodation form part of their core pipeline, not as a side offering, but as a genuine part of how they operate.
With recent internal promotions at a senior level, there is now an opportunity for a Project Architect to join the Sydney team.
Role Overview
This role is suited to a Project Architect with 7 years’ experience, ideally NSW registered, who is confident working at the delivery end of Class 2 projects.
You’ll be involved across documentation and construction phases, working closely with consultants, coordinating packages and maintaining design intent through to site. It’s a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys being close to the detail and staying connected to how projects are actually built.
You’ll also play a role in supporting junior team members, acting as a steady point of guidance within the team.
Key Responsibilities
• Coordinate projects through documentation and delivery stages
• Manage consultant coordination and drawing packages
• Produce construction documentation and detailed drawings (Revit or ArchiCAD)
• Respond to RFIs and resolve technical issues
• Attend site and contribute to construction phase activities
• Support elements of contract administration and risk management
• Mentor and guide junior team members
Skills & Experience
• 7 years’ experience within an architectural practice
• NSW Registered Architect (preferred)
• Strong experience delivering Class 2 / multi-residential projects
• Proven capability across construction documentation and delivery
• Proficiency in ArchiCAD
• Strong coordination and communication skills
• Comfortable working in a hands-on, delivery-focused role
Why This Role Stands Out
• Medium-sized studio feel with the backing of a larger practice
• Strong pipeline across Class 2 and community-focused projects
• Genuine progression pathway through to senior leadership
• Structured environment with clear support and development
This is a strong opportunity for a Project Architect who enjoys delivery, wants to stay hands-on and is looking for a studio where culture, project quality and long-term growth are all aligned.
