From pitching and concept development through to documentation oversight and site engagement, you will ensure design integrity is maintained at every stage.

- Develop innovative, human-centric design solutions across sectors including workplace, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use
- Oversee projects from concept through to delivery, ensuring design quality and consistency
- Guide and mentor team members, fostering a collaborative and design-led culture
- Present confidently to clients, articulating design intent and strategy
- Collaborate with consultants and project teams to ensure integrated, buildable outcomes
- Maintain a strong focus on documentation quality, detailing, and project delivery
- Contribute to design pitches, client engagement, and studio growth initiatives

Why Join WMK
At WMK, you’ll be part of a design-led, collaborative studio working on diverse and high-quality projects across Australia. We are committed to delivering environments that are not only visually compelling, but also considered, functional, and enduring.
Our culture is team-first, dynamic, and supportive, where strong ideas are valued, initiative is encouraged, and individuals are empowered to take ownership of their work. You’ll have the opportunity to lead meaningful projects, shape design outcomes, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the studio.
