A Unique Opportunity Exclusively at Grõ Careers


Are you an experienced Part II Architectural Assistant or recently qualified Architect looking to pivot your career into a dynamic role that combines architecture with design management? This is your chance to take on an exciting alternative career path, maintaining your architectural roots while expanding into project management.


Why Consider This Transition?

This position offers an immersive introduction to design management, allowing you to apply your architectural skills in a broader context. You’ll gain hands-on experience guiding the delivery of high-profile projects, working alongside senior design managers who are redefining the industry. It’s an ideal opportunity to fast-track your career while staying involved in the architectural world you love.


Your Role and Responsibilities

This role has been tailored for aspiring design managers who want to move beyond hands-on design work into managing the full design process. You’ll be involved in:


  • Supporting the Delivery of Flagship Projects: Work on large-scale mixed-use, cultural, and hospitality projects, valued from £50 million to £200+ million, including UK & international projects.
  • Project Coordination: Assist in coordinating multidisciplinary design teams, ensuring the smooth flow of information between consultants, contractors, and clients.
  • Client and Stakeholder Engagement: Gain exposure to client meetings, help refine project briefs, gain exposure to change management, and contribute to key presentations at various project stages.
  • Design Programme Support: Collaborate on drafting design schedules, responsibility matrices, and project route maps.
  • Financial Involvement: Work with internal finance teams and cost consultants on project fees, gaining exposure to drafting additional fee proposals based on client changes.


What We’re Looking For

If you have a keen interest in the strategic and management side of architecture and a desire to step into a role that leverages your design skills in a new way, this could be the right fit for you.


Key Requirements:

  • Experience Level: A minimum of 1 year post RIBA Part II experience as an Architectural Assistant, or a recently qualified Architects (up to 4 years post-Part III experience).
  • Project Experience: Involvement in medium-large scale projects (£25+ million) within a UK-based studio.
  • Software Skills: Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, Adobe CS, and any additional document management software is highly advantageous. Training will be provided.
  • Understanding of Design Management: Familiarity with design management workflows, documentation, and client interaction. Examples of specific documentation would be highly advantageous (design programmes you have worked on/contributed to etc.).
  • Communication Skills: Effective at engaging with stakeholders, presenting ideas clearly, and working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Lead Consultant Experience (Highly Desirable): Experience working on projects where your employer or studio was appointed as the lead consultant, coordinating design teams and client interactions.


A Culture of Learning and Growth

Join a forward-thinking team where professional development is paramount. You’ll be mentored by experienced design managers, gain exposure to prestigious projects, and have access to continuous training opportunities. With a vibrant culture that promotes innovation, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence, accompanied by a highly competitive benefits package.


Ready to Redefine Your Career?

If you’re eager to explore a new dimension in your architectural career and transition into design management, we want to hear from you. Submit your CV and portfolio to Reece at Grõ Careers today.
