Working at Hayball

Social Culture

Hayball has grown considerably in recent years, but we continue to strive for an inclusive, connected and engaging workplace within each office and nationally. We want to ensure that individuals feel part of the team and encourage this by creating regular opportunities for everyone to connect in a social and professional exchange.

While events and activities differ across the Hayball studios, there are plenty of opportunities for you to connect with some of the friendliest colleagues you’ll ever have.

Just some of the things that keep us socially active throughout the year:

  • Monday morning tea
  • Annual Christmas Party
  • Friday team lunch
  • Big Cake Bake
  • Sleep at the G
  • Annual Family Day
  • Soup Kitchen Fundraiser
  • Craft Market
  • …and of course, the all-important Hayball archi-soccer team!

Professional Development

As part of an ongoing commitment to professional development, Hayball runs a range of initiatives to ensure everyone has an opportunity to develop their skills and stay up-to-date with the latest industry innovations.

Here’s what we’re currently running:

PMP Program: Graduates working towards registration are supported through the PMP “Practice Makes Perfect” program, which cultivates best practice for their career.

Connect Sessions: This is a fortnightly, informal information session that takes place over drinks and nibbles. With a range of internal and external presenters, these 1 hour presentations are great for connecting with your colleagues.

Design Matters: Recently revived and back by popular demand, Design Matters is a monthly forum that stimulates lively discussion and debate around an esoteric architectural hypothesis.

Architectural Film Night: Each month we inspire conversation and connection by screening a documentary focused film in which “architecture as a character is examined”.

Senior Project Leader Forum: Hayball is about sharing knowledge and ideas. Most often, this is spread across vastly different projects. Our Project Leaders come together on a monthly basis to exchange, touch base and share their insights with each other.

Red Book Talks: Each quarter, the firm gathers to enjoy anecdotal reviews of a pair of projects that are typologically related, one completed and one currently ‘on the boards’. Learned lessons are shared, outputs (good and bad) are reviewed and the accumulated knowledge of important projects is disseminated to the entire team.

What our people say...

Kerlina Bahari

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.

Feri Taheri

Architecture Graduate

It’s not just about design, technology and detail; there’s also a great emphasis on culture, people and teamwork. People share their knowledge and experience generously. Everybody is so that sometimes I don’t feel that I’m at my work place, it feels more like a big family.

Erin Collins

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

Student

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

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.

Hilary Duff

Architecture Graduate

My architectural career is off to a wonderful start. The process of following through from broad design concepts through to intimate constructed details sees an input and interaction from a plethora of talented, knowledgeable and friendly colleagues, and support from inspirational mentors.

Sarah Smith

Interior Designer

My passion for creating meaningful and progressive learning spaces has only grown since I joined the team. I can be myself at Hayball – as a designer and most importantly as a person. It’s inspiring, innovative and encouraging – exactly what architecture and design should be. And we remember to have laughs along the way.
