Project Architect

Greater Manchester Flexible Working

Ready to take ownership of exciting architectural projects while working within a genuinely collaborative and supportive practice?

We are working with an established RIBA Chartered architectural practice that is looking to appoint an experienced Project Architect to join its growing team.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious architect to take a leading role in the development and delivery of technically challenging projects across the Residential, Commercial and Education sectors, working with major clients and some of the biggest names in the construction industry.

The Role

As a Project Architect, you'll play a key role in taking projects from concept through to construction, combining architectural design with strong technical understanding, coordination and project delivery.

You'll work collaboratively with the wider design team, helping develop design solutions, coordinate project information and ensure that projects are delivered to a high standard.

The practice is looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership, enjoys solving problems and can confidently lead the detailed design process while working closely with clients, consultants and construction teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development of architectural projects from concept through detailed design and construction.
• Take ownership of the detailed design process and coordinate design information.
• Develop design concepts into robust, technically achievable and buildable solutions.
• Coordinate architectural information with consultants and wider project teams.
• Produce and review project information using Revit.
• Manage design development and respond effectively to project changes.
• Ensure designs and technical information meet relevant standards and legislation.
• Apply a strong understanding of Building Regulations and the Building Safety Act.
• Work with NBS and relevant construction standards.
• Collaborate with clients, consultants and construction industry partners.
• Contribute to the continued development and success of the practice.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years' post-qualification experience working in the UK.
• ARB registration or an equivalent professional qualification.
• Proven experience taking responsibility for the detailed design and coordination of projects.
• Strong Revit experience.
• Knowledge of BIM Level 2 would be advantageous.
• Good knowledge of NBS and relevant construction standards.
• A thorough understanding of Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act and associated legislation.
• The ability to develop architectural concepts into technically robust and buildable solutions.
• Confidence taking ownership of design development and managing design changes.
• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• A positive, enthusiastic and self-motivated approach.
• The ability to work collaboratively within a genuinely supportive team.

What’s On Offer?

For the right person, this is much more than simply another Project Architect position.

You’ll join a people-focused practice with a collaborative, no-ego culture, where everyone is valued, trusted and encouraged to contribute.

There is a genuine commitment to maintaining a healthy work/life balance, with a 4.5-day working week, an early 1pm finish on Fridays

You’ll also benefit from:

• Competitive salary, negotiable according to experience.
• Pension.
• Bonus scheme.
• Flexible working.
• Clear opportunities for career progression and promotion.
• Investment in your professional development.
• A diverse portfolio of UK projects.

The opportunity to work alongside leading clients and construction industry partners.
