Are you an architect, interior designer, or real estate professional ready for something new?

As a global leading real estate firm, Colliers is redefining workplace strategy worldwide, helping organisations rethink where they work, how much space they need, and how their workplaces should function in an increasingly complex, hybrid, and sustainability-driven landscape. To support this shift, Colliers has created Reworks: an end-to-end solution for measuring workplace performance, planning, and design in one centralized AI-assisted platform.

As a startup within Colliers, Reworks combines the agility of a tech venture with the reach and expertise of a global real estate leader. Soft launched with select customers in 2024, Reworks is preparing for a global launch in Q4 2025.

Using Reworks and third-party AI-assisted technologies, you'll drive projects with confidence, creativity, and a strong sense of ownership.

• Partner with customer global real estate, design, and project teams to translate workplace needs into detailed space plans, test fits, and layouts, using AI-assisted technologies to deliver fast, accurate solutions aligned with requirements, brand identity, and design standards.

• Experience working at a similar level in office space planning, test fits, or workplace design within a corporate real estate or design/architecture firm.
• Solid understanding of building codes and regulations with accountability for floor plan accuracy.
