Architect / Senior Architectural Technologist / Senior Architectural Technician (Hybrid)

£37,000–£50,000 per annum + Performance Bonus + Benefits

Future Management Opportunity for the Right Person

Initially office-based, with hybrid working available following a short qualifying period.

We're building something different.

We're a growing Chartered Architectural Practice that believes great design and great business should go hand in hand.

We believe architecture should be creative, technical and enjoyable. That's why we focus on the projects that attracted most of us into the profession in the first place. Working closely with homeowners, business owners and local developers. Solving technical challenges. Designing great buildings. Seeing projects through from concept to completion.

Rather than following industry traditions simply because "that's how it's always been done", we constantly refine our systems, services and processes to create a practice that is enjoyable to work in, commercially successful and delivers genuine value to our clients.

We're now looking for someone to become a key part of that journey.

This role would suit someone who...

...is already running projects within another practice but feels they've reached a ceiling.

Perhaps you're a Project Architect, Chartered Architectural Technologist, Senior Architectural Technician, Associate or sole practitioner looking for somewhere that will genuinely invest in your future.

You enjoy technical design, working directly with clients and taking projects from concept through to construction.

You don't want to spend your career becoming one small cog in a huge organisation.

You want to help build something.

More than just another senior technical role.

This role has been created with the specific intention of mentoring and developing the successful candidate into a future management position within the practice.

As the business grows, you'll be given increasing responsibility, exposure to the commercial side of the practice and the opportunity to help shape how we operate.

For the right person, there may also be opportunities to share in the future success of the business through profit-related rewards and business development.

What we're looking for

Above all else, we're looking for someone who is:

• Hungry to build something exceptional.
• Humble enough to keep learning.
• Smart in both technical and commercial decision-making.
• Someone who enjoys taking ownership and helping others succeed.
• Excited by the opportunity to develop into a future management role.

You'll ideally have strong technical experience across residential projects together with small and medium-sized commercial work, and be comfortable leading projects from concept through to construction.

We're far more interested in capability than job title.

Applications are welcomed from:

• ARB Architects.
• Chartered Architectural Technologists (MCIAT).
• Experienced Architectural Technologists with at least 5 years post-graduate experience.
• Experienced Architectural Technicians with at least 10 years' experience.

Skills

Essential

• Excellent AutoCAD skills.
• Strong technical ability.
• Excellent understanding of UK Building Regulations.
• Experience managing projects and communicating with clients.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• An interest in leadership, management and helping grow a business.

Desirable

• Revit experience.
• Experience mentoring junior staff.
• Business development or networking experience.

Why join us?

We're intentionally building a different type of practice.

One where talented architects and technologists spend their time designing buildings, solving technical challenges, meeting clients and helping deliver great projects—not getting buried in unnecessary bureaucracy.

We believe architecture should be commercially successful as well as creatively rewarding.

We also believe that if we're asking people to help build a successful business, they should enjoy coming to work. That means supporting one another, continually improving, having a laugh along the way and creating a culture where everyone's ideas are valued.

As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to influence systems, improve workflows, develop new services, help win work and, ultimately, move into a management position within the practice.

If you're looking for somewhere you can build a long-term career, enjoy practising architecture and help shape the future of a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
