All of our staff have the opportunity to be flexible with their working hours.

Working from home is offered to staff wherever practical, with our guidelines (outside a pandemic) being 60% to 80% in office time. We like to strike a balance of flexibility without losing the collaborative and social aspects of in-office work.

Nnamdi Orji Architectural Assistant

What has your career path been like at COMPLETE Urban?

Since joining COMPLETE my career progression has continually and interestingly evolved. I have learnt a lot about the design processes in Australia. I cannot overstate the impact the varied nature of my roles has played in developing my knowledge and skills set. I have been encouraged to broaden my expertise and skills set and develop new skills by ever helpful colleagues.

“Since joining COMPLETE my career progression has continually and interestingly evolved.”

What is the best part of your role?

The tasks and challenges are different every day. One day you can be working a conceptual design, the next day you are on a different project, the next day you are working on Construction Drawings. While constantly switching between roles can be challenging, it helps to keep things interesting.

Why do you work here?

COMPLETE presents an opportunity to work on varied public building types. The size of the firms means I am given increased responsibility and opportunities to work on different aspects of projects, picking up a broad range of vital experiences that are not available in much bigger firms.

Also, this role aligns with my personal development pathway to eventually becoming a registered Architect in Australia.

What is the team like?

A supportive and experienced group, they are always happy to assist others when they need a helping hand with work.

It is a fun group to be a part of. I love that there is a genuine spirit of cooperation and shared goals and a dedication to getting the job done.

“This role aligns with my personal development pathway to eventually becoming a registered Architect in Australia” What is your favourite part of working here?

Most of the time you are working as part of the group to construct a building that will be around for years. That I played an active part in achieving that is a very rewarding experience.
