The posting

Grimshaw is an international architectural practice founded in London in 1980, with studios across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. We are known for technically thoughtful, human-centred work spanning major transport infrastructure, cultural buildings and urban masterplans. Computational Design has long been central to how we work, with our Design Technology team playing a key role in developing and embedding digital capability across the practice.

We are seeking an experienced Computational Design Manager to join our Design Technology team in Australia, based in either Sydney or Melbourne.

This role combines hands-on project involvement with technical leadership, capability development, and strategic contribution. As a key member of the ANZ Design Technology team, you will champion Computational Design across the region, helping project teams apply advanced digital workflows, automation, and AI-enabled processes while supporting the continued growth and maturity of the discipline.

Working closely with project teams, regional BIM leadership, specialist teams, and the wider global Design Technology team, you will identify opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and digital transformation, strengthen Computational Design capability across the region, and contribute to the development of future-focused workflows, standards, and tools.

The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise, practical project experience, leadership capability, and the ability to build relationships, influence teams, and drive meaningful adoption of Computational Design across a diverse range of projects.

WHAT THE ROLE INVOLVES

Project Delivery & Technical Leadership

  • Develop and implement computational workflows that enhance design exploration, analysis, automation, and project delivery
  • Advise project teams on where Computational Design, automation, and AI can add value and improve project outcomes
  • Identify opportunities for workflow optimisation, efficiency gains, and digital innovation across projects
  • Provide technical leadership on Computational Design methodologies, workflows, tools, and best practices
  • Champion the responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including Generative AI, where appropriate
  • Collaborate with BIM, Sustainability, CGI, and IT teams to develop integrated digital workflows

Capability Development & Team Leadership

  • Champion Computational Design capability across the ANZ region
  • Mentor and support Computational Design specialists and project teams
  • Coordinate Computational Design resources and project support across the region
  • Deliver training, workshops, and knowledge-sharing initiatives
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, and capability development
  • Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning

Standards, Strategy & Practice Development

  • Maintain and evolve regional Computational Design standards, workflows, libraries, and best practices
  • Align regional initiatives with global Design Technology objectives and standards
  • Contribute to regional Design Technology strategy and capability development
  • Work closely with regional BIM leadership and global DT teams to identify priorities, opportunities, and capability gaps
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and define appropriate adoption pathways
  • Contribute to global standards, tools, resources, and knowledge libraries
  • Drive research, innovation, and continuous improvement initiatives across the practice

Industry Engagement

  • Represent Grimshaw Design Technology through industry engagement, presentations, workshops, and knowledge-sharing activities
  • Contribute to thought leadership, research, and external collaborations where appropriate
