We are committed to investing in our people, strengthening client relationships and using design, technology and innovation to improve the future of the built environment.
About the role
We are seeking a Junior Urban Computational Designer on a fixed term basis to develop and troubleshoot computational tools and scripts. In this role, you will deliver, design and model solutions to optimise complex architecture and masterplanning workflows as a key member of our project team.
What you’ll be doing
As a Junior Urban Computational Designer, you will:
- Undertake responsibilities as directed by the Computational Urban Designer
- Contribute to ongoing computational developments by creating low-code and visual programming-based solutions to optimise complex architectural and engineering workflows.
- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary project teams to identify computational opportunities and ensure the effective delivery of project work.
- Provide technical training and support on the use of computational tools and scripts across the team.
- Assist in defining and integrating long-term computational design developments into ongoing projects.
- Research, document, and deliver innovative computational methods and design workflow solutions.
- Actively review emerging technologies and industry-wide computational design applications to identify new development opportunities.
- Assist project teams with automating documentation processes and integrating workflows.
- Deliver clear presentations of your work related to computational workflows.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for someone who brings:
- A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Architecture, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with a focus on computational design.
- Ideally, 2+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Familiarity with identifying and implementing emerging technologies into Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) delivery methods.
- Demonstrated experience using most (or a selection) of the following coding languages: Revit API, Dynamo, Grasshopper, C#, Python, C++, JavaScript, and SQL.
- Proficiency as a user in one or more primary design deliverables applications, such as Revit, Civil 3D, Rhino, or ArcGIS.
What will help you succeed
You will be successful in this role if you are someone who:
- Possesses strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise multiple competing tasks effectively.
- Is a keen collaborator who thrives when working as part of a team.

- Brings strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build meaningful professional relationships.
- Communicates clearly and effectively, both in written and verbal formats.
Why join us?
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your computational design skills within a respected global architecture and design practice. Working within our Masterplanning team, you will have the chance to directly influence the efficiency of our design processes and get hands-on experience integrating emerging technologies into live architectural projects.
Key measures of success
Success in this role will include:
- Development and deployment of functional workflow optimisations.
- Positive integration and collaboration within the multi-disciplinary project team.
- Proactive identification of new computational opportunities or tools to improve efficiency.
