Architect - Residential

A growing, commercially-minded design consultancy is on the hunt for an Architect to strengthen its Residential team in Colchester.

Join a business that's scaling quickly, with planning and technical specialists working side-by-side on housing projects that range from small, characterful sites to major strategic developments spanning the country.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Architect, you'll take ownership of planning layouts and masterplan proposals for a client base that spans private developers through to well-renowned housebuilders. Your work will largely sit at RIBA stages 0-3, shaping schemes from initial concept through to a robust, submission-ready package. Expect close day-to-day involvement with colleagues across planning and technical disciplines as projects move from feasibility to consent.

What We're Looking For

ARB/RIBA Qualfied Architect

Solid track record designing residential & masterplan schemes

Hands-on experience delivering work for housebuilder clients

A confident grasp of planning policy across the UK

A knack for balancing creative ambition with commercial reality and policy compliance

Comfortable collaborating across teams and communicating design intent clearly

Proficiency with AutoCAD & SketchUp

The Opportunity

This is a business investing heavily in its people and its pipeline of work. Beyond the day-to-day project delivery, there's real scope to shape how the design team develops as the company continues to expand – plus exposure to a genuinely varied residential project list rather than repetitive, single-type schemes.

If residential masterplanning is your specialism and you're ready for a fresh challenge with a consultancy on the rise, get in touch to find out more.
