You will be the person that clients look forward to seeing and meeting, someone who listens, will face challenges and offer resolution, and brings fresh thinking to every meeting. You will help teams unlock design solutions, navigate options, and keep projects moving with clarity and enthusiasm.

In the studio, you will be a mentor and motivator sharing ideas, encouraging experimentation, and helping colleagues grow in their design confidence. You will play a key role in raising the creative bar across the team.

About You

You will be ARB‑registered Architect with knowledge and experience in delivering complex projects. But what will really set you apart will be your enthusiasm in design instinct, your people skills, and your ability to bring ideas to life.

You will bring confidence, collaborative thinking, and natural leadership, with the ability to engage clients, guide teams, and shape a project’s creative direction.

You will be fluent in Revit and other design tools, and you will be at your happiest when sketching, exploring options and offering resolutions, and helping others unlock their potential and best ideas.

A full UK driving licence is preferred.
