Design spaces that shape how people live, work and connect

AJC Architects is looking for a talented and motivated Interior Designer to join our Living & Workplace Sector team. You’ll work across a diverse range of Living and Workplace projects, collaborating with interior designers, architects, clients and consultants to create thoughtful, functional and inspiring environments that respond to how people live, work and connect. This is an opportunity to develop genuine depth in Living and Workplace design, while also gaining exposure to different project types, sectors and disciplines across AJC.

About AJC

For more than 70 years, AJC has been creating thoughtful, people-centred places across architecture, interiors and urban design. We bring together creativity, collaboration and design excellence to deliver places that are purposeful, sustainable and responsive to the people and communities who use them. Our approach is guided by our core values of Excellence, Courage, Growth and Collaboration, and a shared commitment to quality, safety and environmental responsibility. You’ll be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary practice where you can build in-depth sector knowledge while continuing to develop your broader design experience and career.

What you’ll do

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build your Living and Workplace sector expertise, developing a deeper understanding of user needs, changing ways of living and working, materials, furniture, FF&E and the design considerations that shape these environments.
• Contribute to projects from concept to completion, helping develop design ideas from briefing and concept design through design development, documentation, coordination and delivery.
• Create thoughtful, people-centred interiors, researching and specifying materials, finishes, fixtures, furniture and FF&E that respond to the client brief, project vision, functionality and user experience.
• Work closely with clients and multidisciplinary project teams, including Studio Directors, architects, designers, consultants and other stakeholders, contributing to presentations, workshops, coordination and site inspections.
• Deliver high-quality design outcomes, preparing presentations and documentation, coordinating project requirements and resolving design challenges with a practical and creative approach.

You’ll use Revit and Adobe Creative Suite as part of your day-to-day work and contribute to knowledge sharing and collaboration across AJC’s broader practice.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A qualification in Interior Design, Interior Architecture or a related discipline.
• Around 1 to 3 years’ professional interior design experience, with experience or a strong interest in Living and Workplace design.
• Strong design capability and an ability to develop creative, people-focused concepts and carry design intent through to documentation and delivery.
• Proficiency in Revit and Adobe Creative Suite, including InDesign and Photoshop.
• Strong communication, collaboration and organisational skills, together with curiosity, attention to detail and a commitment to design excellence.

What would be an advantage

• Experience across Living and Workplace environments, including multi-residential, high-end residential, workplace, hospitality or mixed-use projects.
• Experience with materials, finishes, furniture selection and FF&E coordination.
• A genuine interest in building deeper expertise in Living and Workplace design.

You don’t need experience across every area. We value transferable skills, design capability and curiosity, and encourage designers who are interested in developing their Living and Workplace experience to apply.

Why AJC?

At AJC, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build in-depth expertise in Living and Workplace design, developing meaningful sector knowledge while working on projects from early concept through to delivery.
• Work across a diverse portfolio of projects, with opportunities to contribute beyond your core sector and gain exposure to different project types and disciplines across AJC.
• Work alongside experienced architects, interior designers and multidisciplinary project teams, sharing ideas and learning from different perspectives and areas of expertise.
• Develop your capability across the full design and project lifecycle, strengthening both your design skills and understanding of how projects come together.
• Grow your skills and career through regular in-house CPD, knowledge sharing and professional development opportunities.
• Build connections within the wider design industry through external networking and industry events.
• Be part of a collaborative studio culture guided by our values of Excellence, Courage, Growth and Collaboration, where ideas, knowledge and different perspectives are valued.
• Contribute to meaningful, people-centred places that positively shape the way people live, work and connect.
• Enjoy working from our light-filled, inner-city studio, conveniently located close to public transport.
