Super Colossal is Hiring

[Position Filled. Thanks to everyone that sent their portfolios in!]

Okay. So we need some staff. If you are looking for work and you fit the outline below, then please send your CV and portfolio to info@supercolossal.ch

Some notes for those interested in sending in their CVs:

  • We are looking for someone to start in the second week of January 2009.
  • We are looking for a graduate, with project experience and preferably with experience in documentation.
  • Excellence In Model Making skills will be valued highly. We share office space with Tribe Studios and we would like to make better models than them.
  • You may be expected to contribute to this blog, so writing coherently and the ability to find curios in hidden corners of the internet is a plus.
  • You must have excellent taste in music. At this moment, excellent taste in music includes the following: The Magnetic Fields, The Triffids, Paavoharju, Bruce Springsteen. But this may change.
  • We are up to series 4 of The Wire. You?
  • We currently have adequate in-house crocheting skills, so while we would never say no to more, please don’t feel that it is a pre-requisite for application.
  • Because you are the youth you know ALL SOFTWARE IN EXISTENCE innately, but you may like to know that we use macintosh computers for typing into and archicad for most of our drawing.
  • In case you didn’t know, we are in Sydney, Australia.
  • Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to sponsor international superstar architects currently residing in Australia and the recruitment agencies take, like, 30% of the pay packet for visa sponsorship, so that’s not really viable for anyone is it? Except for the recruitment agencies I guess.

So if that sounds reasonable to you, send us a sample of your work (soon! the year is running out!) and we will get in contact. And please pass this on to anyone you know who may be looking for some work.

    You are aware the economy is in downturn and all architects are doomed? Good to see you are reversing the trend. Love the blog, I don’t know how you find the time, if I didn’t loathe Sydney with a passion I would apply in the tinkle of a lineweight. If you want to relocate to Melb, well, do it. The Wire is even better the second time around, ooo that McNulty.

    I was kindly sent the link to you’re website by the guys at DRAW. The blogs are great and very refreshing. I would love to apply for this position you’re studio is offering – it fits my experience and the timing is ideal, however, I understand the year is almost up so I suppose I have to get a move on.

    Marcus, looks like you work beside Hannah Tribe? Ask her if she remembers Jose(pronounced Joe-say)from uni and what his modelmaking skills are like?
