Descripción del empleo

Architects, Technologists and Architectural Assistants aren't required by law on a project. A BR PD is.

Perhaps that is why the perks, the salary, the respect and value for your time, and working conditions would be vastly improved if you switched over.

Not to mention the progression and breadth of opportunity. It's all there for the Architectural Professional who has dreamed about something more, personally as well as professionally.

There's never be any reason for you to do more than your contracted hours. You'd work somewhere that doesn't have a 'by the seat of your pants' resourcing style or business model that relies on taking advantage of employees (that's what lots of unpaid hours is) to make ends meet.

You'd get 3 days working from home as a minimum.

You have enough flexibility that you could start late in the morning, meet friends for a two-hour lunch, pick the kids up, and start again after they've gone to bed or don't and catch up next week.

30 days holidays + bank holidays will allow you the breaks you need too and complete the lifestyle revamp you can expect in this new job and new sector as a whole.

You'll still do DTMs (but from a different seat), you'll still visit sites locally, and you'll see the team in person whenever you want to.

You'll also still be an Architect / Architectural Technologist. They'll maintain your CPD hours, your subscriptions and will probably be keen to add more quals and certifications.

What you'll be doing

Act as and / or Assist the Duty Holder / Principal Designer under the Building Safety Act 2022, ensuring compliance with relevant Building Regulations.

Projects will be HRBs so that kind of experience is required.

Advise End User Clients on their responsibilities and assist in making key decisions with regards BSA compliance.

Help manage and advise on Design elements and general process to ensure regulatory requirements are met. Assist project teams in the development of compliant design.

Manage and submit design documentation for regulatory approval, including liaising with Building Safety Regulator (BSR), Building Control and Fire Authorities etc.

What you'll need

Currently you'll be an experienced Architect, Architectural Technician / Technologist or Architectural Assistant.

You could also be a BSA advisor in a Consultant already.

Good knowledge of the building regulations (though you mostly just need to know where to look).

Previous involvement in any BR PD activities whether as the Duty Holder directly, alternatively assisting or acting on behalf of a colleague who holds the position.
