What our people say...

Kerlina Bahari

Senior Associate

Coming from small practices to Hayball, the exposure to exceptional leaders and experts across design, business, communication and BIM has supported my learning experience and aspiration to work very hands-on across projects. I really value the opportunities for training and professional development and I really enjoy the people and culture here.

Erin Collins

Senior Associate

Hayball has the friendly and personal nature of a small firm with the benefits and opportunities of a large national practice. As a parent I value the flexible work environment, and female and male directors both support and model balancing a successful career with raising a family.

Rhys McFarlane

Architectural Graduate

Hayball is a place to grow. There is always something new to embrace every day, with new opportunities arising and challenging the way we think about architecture. Being a student, there is not only a steep learning curve, there is support and a wide variety of experience to gain from. The culture is more like a family, everyone is equal.

Robert Mosca

Senior Associate

The thing that impresses me most is the company’s value towards the working culture. Hayball invests time in its people, encouraging an enjoyable and engaging work environment that focuses on a collaborative team approach with opportunities to take on leadership roles to professionally develop.

Ela Rajapackiyam

BIM Manager

I enjoy mentoring people, brainstorming and thinking out of the box. My role can be very challenging but I’m pushed to my full potential. If you want to work in a good environment, you can join any place, but if you want to work in a great environment – this is the place. Hayball is a company with heart.
