Descripción del empleo

If you enjoy working in a collaborative and multicultural environment and are looking to advance your career, we’re looking for experienced and enthusiastic architects to join our growing multi‑national practice, (ranked as a World Architecture 100 firm), in Madrid, Spain.

Education and professional development: We encourage all our employees to work to the highest standards of professionalism whilst being self‑reliant and showing independence of thought. In return, we’ll provide you with the experience and education to progress your career.

Our multi‑national network means you’ll be given the opportunity to collaborate with Hyphen’s offices across the UK, Europe, Latin America and beyond to work on interesting projects for world‑leading clients. In addition, our hybrid working approach means that you’ll be able to work from home for up to three days each week with the remaining time in our Madrid office.
