Line Manager/Associate (Architecture)

Future Leadership/Directorship opportunity for the right person

Initially Office Based but can move to Hybrid after short qualifying period

Salary: Competitive, £45,000 - £50,000 per annum + Bonus

We’re building something different.

We’re a growing chartered architectural practice that believes great design and great business should go hand in hand. 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, highly profitable 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, leading teams or managing work within another practice, but feels they’ve reached a ceiling. Perhaps you’re a Project Architect, Chartered Architectural Technologist, Associate, Practice Manager, sole practitioner or highly experienced technician who wants more influence over how a business is run.

You won’t simply be joining a company. You’ll be helping shape its future.

For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to progress into senior leadership.  As the business grows, there may also be opportunities to share in the success of the practice through Profit-Related Rewards/Business Development/Directorship.

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.

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 more interested in capability than job title.

We’re open to applications from:

• ARB Architects.
• Chartered Architectural Technologists (MCIAT).
• Experienced Architectural Technologists or Architectural Technicians with at least 10 years’ relevant experience.

Skills

Essential:

• Excellent AutoCAD skills.
• Strong technical checking ability.
• Excellent understanding of UK Building Regulations.
• Experience managing projects and communicating with clients.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.

Desirable:

• Revit experience.
• Experience mentoring junior staff.
• Business development or networking experience. This is the area that unlocks the greatest opportunities.

Why join us?

We’re intentionally building a different type of practice.

We don’t believe success comes from producing paperwork that nobody reads or following outdated processes because they’re considered industry standard. We focus our time on work that genuinely adds value to our clients and to the business.

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

As we grow, you’ll have the opportunity to influence systems, improve workflows, develop new services, help win work and shape the future direction of the company.

If you’re looking for another job, this probably isn’t for you.

If you’re looking for somewhere you can genuinely make your mark, we’d love to hear from you.
