Job description

Birmingham

An established, employee-owned design practice is hiring an Architectural Technologist to join its growing Birmingham studio.

Smaller team, big-practice backing. The kind of setup where you'd actually know everyone, directly influence how the office runs, and not spend your career invisible inside a large corporate machine.

Up to 3 days a week from home, flexible start and finish times, and a sensible approach to how work fits around life.

The work spans public and private sector projects, with a varied sector mix that keeps the day-to-day interesting.

You're joining at a genuinely exciting point for the Birmingham studio: a growing team, a strong pipeline, and the chance to help shape the culture of the office as it scales.

The Architectural Technologist role, day to day:

• Producing technical drawing packages and project information across live schemes.
• Coordinating with architects, consultants and contractors through the technical stages.
• Applying UK Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act and CDM requirements.
• Supporting delivery across both public and private sector briefs.
• Contributing to detailing and buildability decisions on live projects.

What we're looking for in this Architectural Technologist:

• Relevant qualifications (CIAT or similar) and a few years of UK practice experience.
• Working knowledge of UK Building Regulations and technical detailing.
• Confident coordinating with other disciplines and communicating clearly.
• Organised, self-starting, and comfortable managing your own workload across multiple projects.

Why this Architectural Technologist role in Birmingham is worth a look:

• Smaller team, big-practice backing. Direct access to leadership, visible impact, no corporate layers to disappear into.
• Employee-owned structure, with tax-free bonuses paid out each of the last few years on top of competitive salaries.
• Up to 3 days a week from home, flexible start and finish times.
• Growing Birmingham studio with a strong central location.
• Public and private sector projects, so a broad range of work to get stuck into.
• The chance to help shape the culture of the office as it scales up.
