Prior to Voxell, Luke worked for Stephenson & Turner and Chapman Taylor, renowned architectural firms in New Zealand and Internationally. Luke has 5+ years of architectural design experience working across commercial, residential and mixed used projects. He is a Revit whiz. Luke loves that architecture allows him the space to aspire to turn desires and visions into a reality.
We believe that quality time outside the office is vital to our employees' satisfaction and performance at work. We work hard to develop amazing solutions for clients but don't believe in grinding our staff through constant late nights like other firms; we encourage team members to take time off so they can come back refreshed.
Our people have a direct impact not only on the projects they work on but by being part of an exciting, innovative start-up that is leading change in the NZ construction industry. They are also encouraged and able to have input into areas like growth, product and service innovation, to truly be part of creating positive change in NZ.
Digital technologies and ways of working in our industry are constantly changing and we want to be at the forefront of what that which means our team needs to constantly be learning. We encourage staff to up-skill and stay ahead of market trends, providing work time that is allocated to both research and their development.
We attract the best and want to retain them so place high importance on paying fair renumeration for the work they do, contributing to their Kiwi-Savers and prioritising development. We also provide flexible working conditions and are always working on new ways to look after our people.
Celebrating the small wins and the big ones are an important part of Voxell culture. We have drinks every Friday with a great bunch of people which seem to start earlier each week, we celebrate winning and executing projects, company milestones and have one hell a Christmas party each year. We also attend industry events together and get involved in social and fitness causes like Round the Bays.
We place high importance on being transparent and keeping our people informed. Our CEO hosts a weekly meeting to share the company's priorities and what's been happening. The hierarchy is completely flat and we respect the views and inputs of all, not only our leadership and our people but our customers as well.
