Job description

A leading Glasgow architectural practice is seeking a Senior Architectural Technologist to play a key role in the delivery of high-profile Ministry of Defence (MOD) and secure government projects across the UK.

This is a unique opportunity to work on highly sensitive, nationally significant developments that directly support critical UK defence infrastructure. You'll be involved in projects where precision, technical excellence, and security are paramount, collaborating within a highly experienced team operating in a fully integrated Revit/BIM environment.

Due to the nature of the work, the successful candidate will be required to obtain Security Clearance (SC) and must be able to satisfy the necessary background checks. Previous experience on defence, secure government, custodial, infrastructure, or other highly regulated projects would be advantageous but is not essential.

The Opportunity

Working as a senior member of the technical team, you'll lead the production and coordination of complex project information from concept design through to construction, ensuring the successful delivery of secure facilities that form part of the UK's critical estate.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Technologist looking to build a career within the defence sector, gaining exposure to projects that few practices have access to.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading technical design packages through RIBA Stages 3–5.
• Delivering coordinated technical information within a Revit/BIM environment.
• Developing detailed construction packages for secure and highly regulated facilities.
• Coordinating with multidisciplinary consultants, contractors and client teams.
• Resolving technical and buildability challenges across complex projects.
• Supporting construction-stage activities and responding to site queries.
• Mentoring junior team members and contributing to BIM and technical standards.

What You'll Bring

• Strong Revit proficiency and experience working within BIM-led project delivery.
• Proven experience delivering projects through technical and construction phases.
• Excellent knowledge of UK Building Regulations and construction detailing.
• Ability to manage and coordinate complex technical packages independently.
• Strong communication skills and stakeholder management experience.
• Eligibility and willingness to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC).

Why This Role?

• Salary of £40,000–£45,000
• Exposure to prestigious MOD and defence-related projects
• Opportunity to work on secure facilities with national importance
• Long-term project pipeline and excellent job security
• Collaborative and highly experienced technical team
• Flexible working arrangements
• Clear progression pathway into Associate and senior leadership positions
