Working at Foreground

At Foreground, we pride ourselves on our collegial and collaborative environment; where ideas sharing and lateral thinking overrides ego in the pursuit of socially and environmentally progressive design. We foster an inclusive and diverse workplace culture, where all staff have a voice and are invited to contribute to knowledge sharing, industry engagement and the development of initiatives through our working groups.

Employee benefits

We recognise our people are our greatest asset, and offer a number of benefits including:

Flexible working arrangements

Recognising our team members have different needs to work at their best, we engaged with our team to implement a flexible workplace policy detailing opportunities accessible to our team. We work with our team one to one to establish mutually agreed arrangements, with the goal to support improved balance and ability to meet their personal and professional obligations and ambitions.

Professional development

We support continuing professional development and career progression for all staff, including providing a training budget for all staff annually to develop their skills. Our performance review and development program provides opportunities for 360 degree feedback, goal setting and skills development opportunities. Regular training initiatives include weekly ArchiCAD training sessions, in-house CPD presentations, studio project tours and lessons learned presentations. We also offer studio access to CPD through our ACA, DIA, prefabAUS, and Parlour Collective memberships, and financially support training, conference and seminar attendance.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Foreground Architecture meets and works, and pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan demonstrates our commitment to First Nations recongnition and reconcilation.
