Role overview

Rothelowman’s Perth studio is seeking a hybrid Graduate Architect and Interior Designer to join its in-person team. The studio is led by Principal Kylee Schoonens, whose understanding of WA planning and government relationships has contributed to a number of major mixed-use projects in the state.

This role suits someone who enjoys working across the boundary between architecture and interiors and wants to contribute to a multidisciplinary environment focused on exploration, collaboration and ambitious design outcomes. The position is based in Perth and is intended for candidates currently living in Perth who hold Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency.
