[Hiring] Senior Architectural Technician @D2B

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Architectural Technician to join our offshore team. This is a specialized role requiring deep knowledge of New Zealand documentation standards. You will work under the guidance of a NZ-based Senior Architect to produce technically accurate, consent-ready drawing sets. Note: This is not an entry-level position. We require a professional with a proven track record in the NZ market who can operate independently within a distributed team.

Responsibilities

• Produce high-quality architectural documentation for NZ aged care and multi-unit residential projects, including drawings suitable for consenting and construction.
• Work under the direction of a NZ-based Senior Architect, taking clear ownership of assigned documentation packages and deliverables.
• Prepare and coordinate drawing sets including floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction details in line with NZ Building Code and relevant NZ standards.
• Develop and maintain Revit models ensuring consistency and coordination across all documentation outputs.
• Manage and coordinate project files and documentation workflows using Autodesk Construction Cloud and Bluebeam Revu.
• Liaise effectively with local consultants and suppliers as required to ensure documentation accuracy and project alignment.
• Identify and resolve technical issues within documentation packages proactively and with minimal supervision.
• Maintain a professional remote working environment with reliable connectivity and a consistent standard of output.

Qualifications

• Architectural Technology qualification or equivalent — Diploma, Bachelor, or a recognised technical qualification.
• Minimum 5 years of post-qualification experience in architectural documentation.
• Minimum 2 years of documented offshore delivery experience working with a New Zealand or Australian architectural practice — portfolio evidence of documentation produced for NZ consenting and construction is required.
• Solid working knowledge of the New Zealand Building Code, NZ standards, and NZ project delivery models.
• Demonstrated ability to take responsibility for a documentation package and communicate effectively with local consultants, contractors, and suppliers.
• Proficient in Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Bluebeam Revu — all three platforms are essential to this role.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills sufficient to operate effectively in a distributed team environment.
• Reliable high-speed internet connectivity and a professional, dedicated remote working setup.

Preferred Skills

• Project experience in aged care, retirement village, or multi-unit residential typologies — strongly preferred given Ignite's primary project portfolio.
• Masterspec specification authoring experience.
• Navisworks experience for model coordination and clash detection.
• Direct prior experience working with NZ consultants, contractors, and/or councils — even in a remote capacity.
• Commitment to ongoing professional development through industry engagement or continuing education.
