Job description

This is an opportunity for an Architect who wants more responsibility across complex health and education projects, rather than being limited to one part of the delivery process.

The role involves design development, documentation and construction, coordinating consultants and technical packages while building experience on highly serviced buildings. Current project work includes a major multi-storey hospital expansion and specialist clinical facilities, alongside new schools and specialist learning environments.

There’s also scope to take greater ownership as the role develops. The roles extend into project coordination, client relationships, contract administration and guiding junior team members, which would give you a pathway beyond pure documentation.

What makes this one worth considering:

• Major hospital and education projects already underway
• Involvement from design development through construction
• Strong exposure to consultant and services coordination
• Opportunity to build specialist health-sector knowledge
• Scope to take ownership of project packages and client relationships
• Clear progression into broader project leadership
• WFH and flexible start and finish times
