Job description

Project Architect - Education Sector Specialist

North Oxfordshire

Are you a talented Project Architect with a passion for delivering high-quality Education projects and ready to take the next step in your career?

I’m working with a well-established, design-driven architecture practice in North Oxfordshire that is looking to appoint an experienced Architect who can grow into a future leader within the studio.

This is a rare opportunity to join a practice known for its progressive culture, award-winning design approach, and long-term commitment to developing its people.

The Role

As a Project Architect, you will take ownership of Education-sector projects from early concept through to completion. You’ll manage workflows, coordinate a small project team and act as a key point of contact for clients and consultants.

You will be trusted with responsibility from day one, with the autonomy to shape projects and the support to develop into a senior leadership role over time.

About You

This role is ideal for a Project Architect with 5+ years of UK experience, particularly within the Education sector. It would also suit an Associate-level Architect who feels they’ve reached a ceiling in their current practice and is seeking a genuine pathway to progression.

You will bring:

• RIBA/ARB registration
• Proven experience delivering Education projects in the UK
• Strong client-facing skills and confidence managing stakeholders
• Experience leading small teams and coordinating project workflows
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and BIM capability (ArchiCAD or Revit)
• Ambition, initiative, and a desire to grow into a senior leadership role

Why This Practice?

• A respected, forward-thinking studio with a strong reputation
• Genuine long-term progression into senior leadership
• A supportive, collaborative culture that values people and design quality
• A diverse portfolio with a strong pipeline of Education projects
• Opportunities for continued professional development and training

A highly competitive salary and benefits package on offer to the successful applicant dependent on experience.
