dRofus Lead – Healthcare Projects

At HDR, we're doing something different.

As an employee-owned business, our people don't just contribute to projects, they take ownership of them. We're looking for an experienced dRofus specialist to lead, grow and champion our dRofus capability across major healthcare projects while helping shape the way information is managed, coordinated and delivered across our Australian Architecture practice.

This is a unique opportunity for a healthcare planner, architect, interior designer, architectural coordinator, BIM specialist or digital delivery professional who enjoys working at the intersection of design, briefing, data and project delivery.

You'll become the recognised dRofus leader within HDR's growing health practice, working alongside some of Australia's leading healthcare design professionals on projects that improve people's lives and communities.

Designing for Better Health Outcomes

At HDR, we are driven by the impact of good design on healthcare outcomes, designing with empathy to create places of healing and hope.

Drawing on deep technical expertise and guided by a culture of care and shared ownership, we co-create environments that elevate the everyday and leave a lasting legacy – places that are, in every sense, extraordinary.

The Opportunity

As our dRofus Lead, you will own the development, implementation and continuous improvement of dRofus across the studio while supporting the delivery of major healthcare and complex building projects.

You will work closely with clients, healthcare planners, architects, interior designers, consultants and contractors to ensure project information remains accurate, coordinated and aligned throughout the design and delivery process.

This role is far more than database administration. You will play a key leadership role in digital delivery, briefing management and project coordination while helping project teams leverage data to achieve better outcomes.
