You'll be involved in all project phases, expected to contribute to design reviews and presentations, and confidently share architectural ideas. The ideal candidate will have a passion for architecture and a keen eye for detail. Technical proficiency and producing high-quality design and technical documentation are essential.

Compliance and Regulation: Adhere to UK Building Regulations, British Standards, CDM, and industry best practices.


Problem-Solving and Technical Expertise: Tackle complex technical and compliance issues through independent research, experience, and sound judgment.


Team Leadership: Work confidently within a studio and project team, lead independently when necessary, and engage office leadership when needed.


Design Coordination: Coordinate stage reports, drawings, and specifications with the architectural and consultant design teams.


Construction Phase Involvement: Visit construction sites, review submittals and shop drawings, prepare site observation reports, design clarifications, and respond to RFIs. Ensure quality, detail, and finishing align with contract requirements.


Design Implementation: Work with project teams to interpret design concepts and turn them into practical construction systems.


Team Leadership and Mentoring: Lead team members, providing guidance and mentorship, and oversee project documentation and delivery.


Consultant Coordination: Ensure an integrated approach by coordinating with the project consultant team to meet project requirements.


Design and Cost Estimates: Prepare designs, working drawings, and specifications and coordinate cost estimates for the project(s).


Project Documentation: Keep accurate records to document all project phases.
