Job description

Job Title: Architectural Professional

Location: Poole

Salary: £28-40,000 DOE

About the company:

A well‑established, multidisciplinary architectural and engineering consultancy is currently seeking talented and motivated individuals to join its team. The firm specialises in a broad variety of projects across the UK – with particular strength in heritage conservation, historic building works, MoD estate projects, marine infrastructure (ports and harbours), and civil/structural engineering. Their portfolio spans from commercial and residential developments to iconic historic buildings, defence estates, and sensitive heritage sites. The work is largely technical in nature: detailed surveys, site inspections, regulatory compliance, and delivery of construction packages – as much as, or more than, new design work. They are happy to consider applications from Part 1 and Part 2 Architectural Assistants as well as qualified Architects, provided candidates understand that the role is not design‑focussed and is primarily technical and site‑based.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package, complemented by a bonus scheme.
• Flexible working arrangements to support a good work/life balance.
• Exposure to a wide range of challenging and varied projects across the UK – from heritage conservation to MoD and marine works.
• Opportunities for professional growth and continuing development, including support toward recognised professional accreditation.
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary working environment with engineers, surveyors, conservation specialists and architects – facilitating a rich learning and cross‑disciplinary experience.

Daily Duties / Key Responsibilities

• Produce and manage technical drawing packages using CAD / BIM software (e.g., AutoCAD & Revit).
• Prepare planning, building regulation, and construction documentation packages, ensuring compliance with UK Building Regulations and statutory requirements.
• Conduct building surveys, site visits and inspections – on heritage sites, MoD estates, and other complex projects – potentially involving occasional national travel.
• Collaborate with clients, consultants, engineers, and other disciplines to coordinate project delivery across multiple trades.
• Work independently where required, applying problem‑solving skills and initiative to meet project deadlines and budgets.

Ideal Candidate

• Holds a degree (or HNC/HND equivalent) in Architectural Technology, Architectural Technician, or related discipline; or actively pursuing relevant qualification.
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Revit/BIM tools.
• Demonstrable experience (post‑qualification) in building surveying, technical detailing, and project delivery – ideally including historic or complex buildings, heritage sites or MoD estate work.
• Strong understanding of UK building regulations, planning processes and construction standards.
• Excellent organisational, communication and time‑management skills; capable of working both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Confident, proactive and hands‑on approach, with commitment to delivering high‑integrity technical work.

If you are seeking a role that offers variety, technical challenge, and the opportunity to work on meaningful heritage and defence‑related projects across the UK – with real potential for professional growth – this position provides a unique chance to join a dynamic, experienced team delivering high‑quality architectural and engineering services.
