Job description

Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented and motivated Architect or Architectural Technologist to join a dynamic architectural team based in Edinburgh. This studio is known for its collaborative culture, strong design ethos, and dedication to delivering meaningful, high-quality architecture across a range of sectors. With a long-established presence in the city, the team works from a well-located, characterful office space, offering a supportive environment in which architects can grow, develop, and take on new responsibilities.

The ideal candidate will have at least two years’ experience post-Part III and be ready to take the next step in their career, contributing to projects at a range of stages and scales. This role suits someone with strong design and technical capabilities, confidence in client and consultant meetings, and a desire to be involved in all aspects of project delivery. There will be opportunities to work on a broad mix of typologies, offering long-term exposure to both public and private sector commissions. The role would suit someone who is looking for continuity in their career and the chance to develop within a supportive and established studio.

The practice values people who think critically about design and bring curiosity to their work. A good understanding of UK planning and building regulations is essential, as is experience working in Revit, as the majority of projects are delivered in BIM. Applicants should be comfortable working within structured systems while also having the initiative to work independently when required. Communication skills are key, as the successful architect will be client-facing and expected to contribute to internal design reviews and external coordination meetings. A thorough approach to detail, specification, and construction is important, and there is space for individuals who enjoy the delivery stages of projects as well as the early design phases.

This is a studio where personal development is taken seriously, with access to ongoing CPD, support for career progression, and the chance to develop responsibility across projects over time. Leadership is approachable and open, creating a team-oriented atmosphere where voices are heard, and ambition is encouraged. The structure of the studio means individuals can gain exposure to every aspect of the design and delivery process, rather than being siloed into limited roles.

Candidates must be ARB registered and have the right to work in the UK. This is a permanent, full-time role based in Edinburgh, with some flexibility around hybrid working once embedded within the team. The studio is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.

This is a great opportunity for an architect who wants to be part of a practice with a rich heritage and a forward-looking approach. The role offers stability, the chance to work on varied and interesting projects, and a team culture that supports both creative and technical growth.
