Ready to lead, not just deliver?

If you're a Project Architect standing at the edge of Senior and ready to jump, this one's worth a look.

What makes this different
Variety is key! You'll move across residential, commercial, education and mixed-use schemes, working with a practice that's investing seriously in its people, its projects, and its next chapter of growth. This is a genuine step up, not a sideways shuffle!

• Be the calm, confident voice in client and contractor negotiations
• Coach and develop junior architects, helping shape the next generation of the team
• Juggle timelines, budgets and multiple live projects without missing a beat
• Bring concepts to life visually using Adobe Creative Suite

What you'll bring

• ARB and RIBA qualification, with 5+ years' UK post-Part III experience
• Confident across AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite
• Solid grasp of planning processes, building regulations and technical construction detail
• A track record of leading projects from concept to completion
• Strong negotiation and client-facing communication skills
