Auckland CBD, New Zealand Strata Studio Ltd Full time NZ$60,000 - NZ$80,000 per year

Strata is a studio built around challenge. We thrive on complexity: tricky sites, tight parameters, layered constraints, and the creative problem-solving that comes with them. We are small, focused, and driven by the pursuit of good design that works in the real world.

We are looking for a Graduate Architect near the beginning of their professional journey to join our team as we grow into 2026 and beyond. You will be supported by experienced architects and given space to learn, contribute, and grow. Working with us will see you working across a wide range of projects both commercial and residential, large and small. We value variety in our work and are looking for a graduate who is wanting to tackle new challenges regularly. This is a hands-on role with real opportunity, starting with task-based work and building toward greater responsibility as your confidence and capability develop. A good attitude and committed work ethic is critical to this role.

You will work closely with the Studio Lead and Registered Architects, contributing to design development, documentation, and delivery across a range of projects. You will be encouraged to ask questions, take initiative, and build strong working relationships with your team and our clients.

We are looking for someone who is:

·       Ready to take ownership of their work and grow in their professional practice

·       Capable of contributing to design solutions, plans, and proposals under guidance

·       Calm under pressure and clear in communication

·       Willing to support senior colleagues in engaging with contractors, consultants, and clients

·       Happy to take on administrative tasks and learn the operational side of studio life

·       Adaptable, proactive, and positive in solving problems

·       Able to work from our Auckland studio five days a week, building strong connections across the team and with our clients

We are an informal, collaborative studio that takes its work seriously. We care about the people behind our projects and back each other to deliver thoughtful, enduring architecture.

Note: We will not be working with recruiters on this role.
