• Attend client, consultant and contractor meetings throughout the construction process.
• Contribute to design reviews, technical workshops and project delivery strategies.
• Support projects through construction and handover stages.

Requirements

• ARB-registered Architect.
• Strong post-qualification experience within a UK architectural practice.
• Extensive experience working across RIBA Stages 4-6.
• Hotel or hospitality project experience preferred but not essential.
• Excellent technical detailing and construction knowledge.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary consultant teams.
• Strong Revit proficiency.
• Confident communication and stakeholder management skills.
