Through Well Built, we work with developers, architects, hospitality operators, and asset owners to integrate evidence-based health and wellbeing strategies into projects through healthy building design, WELL Certification, Fitwel, indoor environmental quality assessments, and design guidance that enhances occupant health and wellbeing and long-term asset/business value.

Our Areas of Expertise: Indoor Air Quality, Lighting environment, Thermal Comfort, Acoustics & Comfort, Biophilia & nature, Inclusive design, Health & Safety.

As our work continues to grow, we are looking for an architect / engineer to join our team. This is an opportunity for someone who is curious about why buildings affect people the way they do and wants to move beyond conventional sustainability metrics into a deeper understanding of healthy, human-centred environments.

The Role

You will work closely with our team to develop evidence-based Health & Wellbeing Strategies, assessments and technical reports for a range of building and development projects. Your role will sit between design thinking, technical analysis and research.

Your work may include:

• Reviewing architectural drawings, specifications, project data and design information.
• Researching health, wellbeing and building science topics using credible scientific and industry sources.
• Conducting on-site indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessments and performance evaluations.
• Developing clear, evidence-based recommendations for project teams.
• Supporting the preparation of Health & Wellbeing Strategy reports.
• Analysing building conditions and identifying opportunities to improve occupant health, comfort and experience.
• Translating WELL and other evidence-based frameworks into project-specific design strategies.
• Supporting technical assessments across environmental and human-centred design parameters.
• Working collaboratively with architects, engineers, consultants and clients.
• Contributing to the development of Well Built's internal methodologies, research library and knowledge base.
