VIVID TIPS // It’s getting to that pointy end of the year where we can almost taste those cold drinks in the sun... But before you check out for the holidays, here’s something worth doing: → Dust off that CV (and portfolio) — because who knows what opportunities might be waiting for you in the new year? After looking at tens of thousands of CVs over the years, here are a few of Nick's top tips 👇 1️⃣ Keep it clear and concise – especially your work history. If it’s confusing to read, you’re instantly on the back foot. 2️⃣ List your projects – your experience is often measured by the work you’ve delivered. 3️⃣ Tell us your role on those projects – were you leading the team or focused on a particular detail? The context matters. 4️⃣ Show off your credentials – registrations, certifications, and licenses (RPEQ, chartership, etc.) should stand out. 5️⃣ Don’t fear a longer CV – if you’ve got relevant projects, include them. Skip the grade 6 maths award though 😉 6️⃣ Skip the cover letter (for me, anyway) – I prefer to meet and build your story together. 7️⃣ Send a Word copy – sometimes I’ll need to tweak formatting or anonymise project names before sending to a client. Got your own CV tips or pet peeves? Drop them in the comments – let’s share the knowledge! And if you’d like to have a proper chat about your CV, next career move, or hiring needs, give Nicholas Koop a buzz. 📧 nick@vividrecruitment.com.au 📞 0426 180 254 #VividRecruitment #ClearAndSimple #ResumeTips #CVTips #Hiring #CandidateAdvice

BLOG // Queensland’s workload is continuing to boom - and with the 2032 Olympics on the horizon, it’s only going one way: up. But while the projects are piling up, the local talent pool is running thin. Vivid’s own Nick Koop recently spoke with a consulting client looking for an intermediate engineer. Great projects, strong team, exciting pipeline - yet every single candidate they interviewed was from outside Brisbane. It’s a sign of what’s to come. As demand surges and skills tighten, the smart consultancies are widening their search - hiring interstate, embracing remote collaboration, and building teams based on talent, not location. So, is your next hire sitting in your city… or just a Zoom call away? 👉 Read the full blog to see why thinking outside the postcode might just be your smartest business move yet! > https://www.vividrecruitment.com.au/thinking-outside-the-postcode-why-smart-consultancies-are-expanding-their-talent-search 🔗 in bio.

BUILD EXPO WRAP-UP // Nick and Annie had a cracking day out at the Melbourne Build Expo yesterday - soaking up ideas, reconnecting with industry faces, and diving into some seriously good panel discussions. A standout was “Meet the Contractors, Architects & Developers Behind Melbourne’s Biggest Upcoming Construction Projects” as part of the Future Melbourne, Future Construction Summit. It was a great and robust discussion chaired by Benni Aroni (Hickory), with insights from Darcy Milgate (Crema), Andrew Deveson (Kapitol), Frank McMahon (Multiplex), jill garner (Department of Transport and Planning) and Angie Darby (Plenary Group). Plenty of conversation around innovation, sustainability, and collaboration – all key themes shaping the next wave of Melbourne’s skyline.

INDUSTRY NEWS // After six years of negotiations, redesigns, and heritage debates, the $396.9 million redevelopment of the iconic MLC Building on Miller Street has officially been given the green light! Led by Investa Custodian (2) Pty Ltd, the heritage-listed landmark will be transformed into a modern commercial precinct, with Bates Smart behind the design — blending post-war architectural history with a sleek new 22-storey glass tower. The project balances heritage conservation and commercial viability, restoring the original façade while adding new public spaces, retail, and a reimagined forecourt along Miller Street. The team behind the transformation includes: → Architect: Bates Smart → Planner: @beamplanning → Landscape: 360 Landscape Architecture → Structural & Civil: enstruct → Services Engineer: @arupgroup → Acoustic: @rwdiwestcoast → Fire Engineering: @jensen_hughes ... and many more leading consultants driving this heritage-meets-future success story. There’s also an alternate proposal in the works for a university campus version of the site — potentially welcoming nearly 5,000 students to the North Sydney CBD. An incredible example of adaptive reuse, collaboration, and forward-thinking design shaping Sydney’s skyline once again.

FRIDAY FUN // Every great engineer started with Lego… and probably still has a secret stash at home. Because let’s be honest — Lego is basically engineering in its purest form: → Stress-testing bridges until they (inevitably) collapse → Problem-solving like MacGyver with limited pieces → Deconstructing to rebuild it better (and better… and better) At Vivid Recruitment, we know the right piece makes all the difference — whether that’s the elusive brick for your Lego masterpiece or the missing engineer for your next project. So tell us… what was the last thing you built with Lego?

BLOG // With activity in the market shifting and more professionals stepping into new roles, onboarding has never been more important. First impressions matter. We’ve seen it too many times: brilliant candidates land their dream role, only to spend their first week wondering if they’ve made the right move. 👉 No logins. 👉 No one knows they’re starting. 👉 Manager’s on holiday. Not exactly the warm welcome they were hoping for. In today’s market, where Engineering, Architecture & Interior Design, and Urban & Town Planning jobs are hotter than ever, a clunky first week can send great talent running. Remember: probation isn’t just for employers, it’s a “get out of jail free” card for new hires, too.

Today is R U OK? Day – a reminder that checking in with a colleague, a friend, or even yourself could make a real difference. As the year-end rush creeps closer, burnout can become all too common in our industry. Long nights, early mornings, and busy deadlines might feel like part of the job, but they’re not sustainable – and they’re certainly not a badge of honour. 👉 If you’ve noticed changes in someone’s mood, behaviour, or energy levels, it might be time to ask that simple but powerful question: “Are you OK?” At Vivid Recruitment, we believe the best work comes from people who are supported, balanced, and healthy. Work can wait. Your health won’t. We’ve written more about spotting the signs of burnout, building your own wellbeing toolkit, and starting conversations in our latest blog.

VIVID TIP // PSA to all Architects, Engineers & Designers!! We cannot stress this enough – your personal brand and LinkedIn profile matter more than you think. When a new role comes in, 9 times out of 10, recruiters (like us) will: ✅ Search our database ✅ Jump on LinkedIn to see who’s out there We’re in the background, quietly lurking… checking if you’ve got “Open to Work” switched on, scanning your skills, and yes, ready to slide into your DMs with opportunities (that’s what “headhunted” really means 😉). But here’s the thing: if your profile is half-baked, missing detail, or rocking a blurry photo from 2012, you’re making it harder for us to find you. A few quick wins: → Use a professional(ish) photo – not a cropped wedding snap. → Keep your headline more exciting than just “Architect” – add your speciality! → List your projects, software, or sector expertise (we search by keywords all the time). → Write a short, punchy About section that shows off your personality. Want the inside scoop? We wrote a couple of blogs that break it all down: 👉 Personal Branding for Architects & Engineers: Why It Matters > vividrecruitment.com.au/personal-branding-for-architects-and-engineers-why-it-matters 👉 Why Your LinkedIn Profile Needs More Love > vividrecruitment.com.au/why-your-linkedin-profile-needs-more-love If your profile isn’t doing you justice, now’s the time to give it some love 💙 – future you (and future job offers) will thank you.

TODAY is Daffodil Day, and this one is incredibly close to home for us. As a small team of three, two of us are currently supporting loved ones battling cancer. This personal connection fuels our passion to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Cancer is a reality for many Australians. In 2024, it's estimated that over 164,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer, and tragically, around 53,000 will lose their lives to this disease. But there's hope. Daffodil Day, Cancer Council Australia's most iconic fundraising campaign, brings us together to support those affected by cancer and fund vital research. Last year, Australians raised over $3.3 million through Daffodil Day to power life-saving cancer research. 💛 For all that cancer takes, we give hope. 💛 Want to support the cause?

📣 Architecture Employers, Take Note… The market is heating up 🔥 — especially in Brisbane, where demand is ramping up ahead of 2032. If you’re still hiring like it’s 2023 — lowball offers, slow processes, and rigid work structures — you're already behind the eight ball. → Top candidates have options. → Salaries are on the rise. → Flexibility and hybrid work matter. Organisations sticking to strictly onsite roles with fixed hours are losing talent before they’ve even had a chance to pitch the project. Be competitive. Be flexible. Be fast. Or be left behind.

LEE'S MARKET UPDATE // It's our fav time of the week when Lee pops together one of his Architecture + Design market updates as we approach August. Brissie is hot, Sydney is coming a close second... Melbs is not where we want it. We're sure it will change, but not sure when. If you're a candidate, check out our website for the roles we are currently hiring for. With the increase in roles up north, salaries are changing… in your favour! If you want some advice, give Lee a buzz. If you're a client, we have some BRILLIANT candidates who are in the market, currently working (so they will have a notice period) but they are seriously looking. It's very competitive right now, so you don't want to miss out. Get in touch if you want to chat, whichever side of the fence you are... 📞 0406 470 020 | 📧 lee@vividrecruitment.com.au #VividRecruitment #ClientLove #ClearAndSimple #ArchitectureJobs #DesignCareers #ArchitectureRecruitment

VIVID TIP // One piece of advice we wish everyone took seriously (whether you're hiring or job hunting)... 👉 Clarity beats charisma - every time. Here’s what we mean 👇 → For clients hiring in architecture, engineering or design: Don't just say “We want a passionate team player.” Say: “We need a Project Architect with multi-residential experience, who can jump into Stage 4 documentation using ArchiCAD, and lead a team of 3.” You’ll save time, attract better candidates, and avoid the “great on paper, not quite right” cycle. 👉 Clarity attracts confidence. → For candidates on the move: Don’t just say “Open to opportunities.” Say: “I'm looking for a senior design-led studio, ideally working on public or cultural projects, where I can progress to Associate in the next 1–2 years.” Being specific isn’t limiting – it’s liberating. It tells recruiters, hiring managers, and even your network how to help you. Whether you're hiring or looking, vagueness is the enemy of progress. Need help finding the words or defining what you’re looking for? That’s literally what we do at Vivid. Let’s make your next move, move the needle.

VIVID // "Just send us a few CVs" – if only it were that simple... When you engage us to recruit, you're not just paying for a CV or a name on a shortlist. You're paying for the process — and trust us, there's a lot more to it than you might realise. → We review dozens (sometimes hundreds) of applications. → We spend hours having honest conversations with candidates, gauging skillsets, motivations, and career goals. → We act as your ambassador — pitching your business, your team, your culture to high-calibre professionals who might not be actively looking. → We negotiate. We coach. We manage expectations on both sides. → And only then do we present someone — someone who’s aligned to your brief and will actually add value to your team. All of this happens before you even see a CV. So yes, there’s a fee. But behind that fee is experience, time, effort, industry tools (which aren’t free), and a whole lot of people skills.

INDUSTRY NEWS // Project Spotlight: Eva and Marc Besen Centre – TarraWarra Museum of Art, Wurundjeri Country | Yarra Valley, VIC. TarraWarra might be best known for its award-winning wines, but it’s also home to some of the country’s most thoughtful and context-driven architecture.

Award Season is HERE... and our two fave cities did not disappoint! From timber-clad depots redefining civic spaces in Melbourne to sky-high pedestrian bridges transforming Brisbane’s cityscape, the 2025 Australian Institute of Architects Awards celebrated the best of built design in Victoria and Queensland. In Victoria, the big gong – the Victorian Architecture Medal – went to the stunning Northern Memorial Park Depot by Searle x Waldron Architecture. A workplace that proves even depots can be uplifting, sustainable, and deeply attuned to place. And yes – it's made of timber, and yes – it's beautiful. Meanwhile, up north in Queensland, the Kangaroo Point Bridge swept the stage, taking out the Queensland Architecture Medallion, plus awards for Urban Design and Sustainability. Hats off to Blight Rayner Architecture, Dissing+Weitling, Arup and Cox Architecture for showing us how infrastructure can be inspiring! ✨ Honourable mentions to: James Cook University’s Engineering and Innovation Place (QLD) – a triple-threat winner in educational, sustainable and interior architecture. Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence (VIC) – a culturally rich and inclusive project supporting education and connection on Yorta Yorta Country.

PAY REVIEWS // Over the past 12 months, salaries in Architecture & Engineering have stayed largely stable, with the odd dip here and there. 📍 Sydney & Melbourne are still leading the charge with higher salary brackets, but don’t count Brisbane out. With multi-residential picking up and the Olympics around the corner, things are levelling out fast across the east coast. From the candidate side, salary still matters — but more and more are telling us they’re willing to negotiate for roles that offer security and growth. *The Bounce Is Coming* Melbourne and Sydney are getting ready. Strategic hiring is already underway — savvy firms are moving now to secure top talent before demand (and salary expectations) rise. With EOFY and pay reviews just around the corner, this data is key for both employers and employees. Whether you're planning your team structure or thinking about your next move, understanding where salaries are sitting right now is more important than ever. Right now? It's still a steady market, which means there's a rare window to hire well before the bounce drives salaries up. Got your next hire in mind? Let’s chat.

This year’s theme, Together We Engineer, reminds us that progress happens when we work together - and that the voices, skills, and leadership of women are absolutely essential to that progress. 👏 Here’s to the engineers breaking new ground, mentoring the next generation, and challenging the status quo. @engaustralia is hosting events all over the country — from breakfasts to cocktail nights — to celebrate the 12th year of INWED and inspire even more women and girls to pursue a career in engineering. 📍 Find an event near you and be part of the movement > engineersaustralia.org.au/learning-and-events/conferences-and-major-events/international-women-engineering-day#accordion-547516 #INWED25 #TogetherWeEngineer #WomenInEngineering #EngineersAustralia #VividRecruitment #EquityInEngineering #STEM #EngineeringCareers

NEWSLETTER // The end of June is nearly here... and it's a bit of a weird one, isn’t it?
