We are hiring!
Who are we?
Altereco is a design practice creating beautiful & functional homes in Melbourne’s leafy suburbs and throughout regional Victoria. We draw inspiration from the site & surrounding environment. Natural materials play a big part in our ethos, along with efficiency, sustainability & practicality. We apply a collaborative approach with our clients to create beautiful, quality, practical, functional spaces or enhance spaces that are already special.
Altereco is proudly Passive House accredited and enjoys collaborating with health and future conscious people looking to build or renovate. Our methodology enables home owners to live in a healthy, comfortable environment without costing the earth.
Our team is small but our ideas are big. We have created our own minimum standards with regards to the performance of our buildings. We will continue to challenge conventional building practices and present a new style of responsible business. We care about the environment we live in, and we care about who we work with. Alone we are smart. Together we are brilliant.
Our Why
We acknowledge that we are in the midst of an environmental crisis and existential risk. Our business activity must attempt to mitigate the crisis of our times. We will continue to challenge conventional building practices and present a new style of responsible business. We believe in our ability to make a meaningful impact to our clients, the community and our environment. As a team we have infinite knowledge, skills and motivation to do good.
Our motto may be simple; whatever we create will outlive us and contribute sustainably and functionally for its occupants and for generations to come, however, our role as the lead consultant demands responsibility from the project’s inception through to completion.
Our Expectations
We’re looking for a graduate architect or building designer of a minimum of 3 years postgraduate experience to join our close knit team. You will work in cahoots with our lead designer and other Project and Interior Designers to produce high quality design and documentation drawings for residential buildings using ArchiCAD.
You’ll have detailed knowledge of the design and documentation process and sound knowledge of residential building requirements. Essential attributes include thorough attention to detail, the ability to work both autonomously and in a collaborative team environment, excellent problem-solving skills and a commitment to using this position for good and meaningful change.
Passive House designer experience is preferable, however your ethos towards what we create as a collective is of utmost importance.
We’ve adopted a hybrid approach to our work environment, dividing time between our studio in Anglesea and working from home.
To be considered for this job, you must have the right experience and skills and be able to live and work in Australia.
Your Application:
Do your values align with ours? Would you fit in well with our team? Could you meet or exceed our expectations? If so, please email your CV, portfolio and cover letter explaining why you’d like to work with Altereco Design to hello@altereco.net.au.
If you want any further info or have any questions, send them through.
We look forward to hearing from you!
