Job description

A well-established, RIBA Chartered Practice in Oxfordshire is looking for a Project Architect to join their team. This is a practice that’s built a genuinely great culture with mutual respect, shared responsibility and colleagues who collaborate effectively.

The project mix keeps things varied whilst focusing on the Residential sector: think high‑end new‑builds, interesting extensions and refurbishments as well as developer schemes with some small commercial ventures thrown in for good measure. You won’t be doing the same thing on repeat!

They’re looking for someone who can properly own a project from concept through to completion confident across all RIBA stages, comfortable leading and managing project teams and trusted to get on with the job without needing to be micromanaged.

About You

• RIBA/ARB Registered Architect
• Min two years' experience working within a UK practice post qualification
• Fully proficient with AutoCAD
• Confident communicator & comfortable liaising with clients
• Strong background in residential work, ideally with both high-end private and developer project experience
• Proven experience working across all RIBA stages, with a solid understanding of the process
• Good working knowledge of building regulations and how they apply in practice

What’s on Offer

• £40,000 £50,000 depending on experience
• Company pension
• On‑site parking
• Flexible working hours

This is a genuine opportunity to take real ownership you won’t be stuck pushing out someone else’s designs or sitting on the periphery of decisions. You’ll be trusted with your own projects end to end, working directly with clients, and given the room to build a reputation on the quality of your own work. For an Architect who’s already comfortable leading and wants a practice that will properly back that with trust and autonomy, this is the right move.
