Project Architect

Conrad Consulting have partnered with a thriving, medium-sized architectural studio in the heart of Sheffield to recruit an experienced Project Architect with proven job-running capability.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic and evolving practice that has firmly established itself as one of Sheffield’s leading architectural studios. Over recent years, the practice has grown organically and developed an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, technically considered projects across a diverse range of sectors, including Education, Healthcare, Energy, Life Sciences, R&D, Industrial and Commercial.

With a talented team of around 30 Architects, Designers and Technicians, the studio prides itself on its collaborative and supportive culture. The team enjoys a professional yet friendly working environment, with regular social events and a strong emphasis on collaboration, knowledge sharing and professional development.

The Role

As a Project Architect, you will take a hands-on role in the design and delivery of projects, working across all RIBA Stages from initial concept through to completion.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, taking ownership of their projects and playing an active role throughout the entire project lifecycle. You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of schemes, coordinating multidisciplinary design teams and ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget and to a high technical standard.

Working closely with senior team members, you will play an important role in client liaison, consultant coordination and contractor engagement, while maintaining a strong involvement throughout both the design and construction phases.

The practice is particularly keen to hear from Architects with experience delivering medium to large-scale projects, ideally within sectors such as Education, Healthcare, R&D Laboratories and Industrial. A significant proportion of the studio’s upcoming workload is within the Education and Healthcare sectors.

This opportunity would suit an Architect who is confident taking ownership of projects, enjoys working as part of a collaborative team and wants to remain closely involved in seeing projects progress from concept through to successful completion on site.

• Proficient in Revit and comfortable working within a BIM-enabled environment
• Proven ability to coordinate consultants, contractors and multidisciplinary project teams
• Confident client-facing communication skills
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage competing workloads and deadlines effectively
• A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute positively to the wider studio team

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary of £40,000–£45,000 per annum
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Hybrid working arrangements, combining studio-based working with flexibility
• The opportunity to take genuine ownership of projects from concept through to completion
