Relativity is a place where creativity and
technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team: 

The Construction Project Design & Delivery team is at the core of Relativity’s growth and development. Through our collaboration and expertise, we deliver projects that lay the foundation for Relativity’s future success. In essence, ‘we build the factory that builds the rockets! We are responsible for cross functional relationships with teams such as Manufacturing, Propulsion, PBF, Avionics, Machine Shop, Facilities, EHS and Security to name a few, working through design specifications and execution of critical infrastructure projects that supports the mission of work centers. Our relationships don’t stop there, working daily with government agencies, utility suppliers, vendors and contractors who support our factory build out. Our team ensures that all projects meet operational requirements, safety and environmental codes, all the while remaining within budget, delivering on time, and to the highest quality as we help to drive production forward.

About the Role:

  • Drive the end-to-end design of workplace environments—from early space planning and test fits to move-in readiness and post-occupancy refinement
  • Translate headcount forecasts and user needs into functional, ergonomic layouts for offices, labs, and amenity spaces
  • Lead FF&E and finish selection, maintaining company-wide standards that align with branding, budget, and performance goals
  • Collaborate with CAD, MEP, Facilities, Security, and Branding teams to integrate layouts into architectural and technical design packages
  • Develop and maintain scalable workplace design standards that ensure quality, maintainability, and construction feasibility across all projects
  • Support field execution with layout redlines, punchlist validation, and stakeholder walkthroughs to ensure design intent is delivered on site

About You:

  • You’re a detail-oriented designer with 5+ years of experience translating workplace needs into functional, scalable interior layouts
  • You excel at balancing aesthetics, ergonomics, and technical feasibility in office and lab environments
  • You’re fluent in programming tools, FF&E coordination, and CAD workflows—and love bridging early concept with construction reality
  • You thrive in cross-functional settings and communicate clearly with engineers, facilities, vendors, and project teams
  • You’re proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple fit-out projects without losing track of details or deadlines
  • You’re motivated by high standards and enjoy contributing to company-wide templates, standards, and continuous improvement initiatives

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience with Revit, Enscape, or SketchUp for design visualization and quick-turn layout development
  • Familiarity with managing multi-site workplace standards or corporate design guidelines at scale
  • Certification such as NCIDQ, WELL AP, or LEED GA/AP, showing commitment to best practices in sustainable and ergonomic design

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
