Job Description:

We’re looking for a confident and driven Project or Senior Architect to join an ambitious and growing design studio working across large-scale, complex, and high-impact projects - from residential and commercial developments to mixed-use schemes and urban masterplans.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who thrives on taking ownership and wants to work independently while closely collaborating with directors and clients. You’ll step into a key delivery role, helping free up senior leadership to focus on business development while continuing to push design quality at every stage.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Independently run projects from RIBA Stage 3 through delivery, leading coordination with clients, consultants, and contractors
• Oversee multi-disciplinary teams, delegate effectively, and ensure smooth project delivery
• Develop compelling design proposals, strong technical packages, and clear presentations
• Lead on budgets, programmes, health & safety, and construction admin
• Support wider studio growth and business development when capacity allows

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years+ post-Part 3 experience (or equivalent) — with the confidence to lead
• Proven ability to deliver large, complex projects across housing, commercial, mixed-use, and urban design
• Strong experience across all RIBA stages — especially delivery
• Client-facing with excellent communication and project leadership skills
• Technically confident with Revit, and ideally experienced in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Suite
• A visually strong portfolio that communicates clarity, rigour, and design intent
• A proactive mindset and interest in mentoring junior team members
• Based in the UK, with full right to work

Why This Role?

• Take ownership of complex, design-led schemes that shape neighbourhoods and city fabric
• Work in a tight-knit and collaborative team with room to grow
• Step into a key role that bridges delivery, design, and leadership
• Enjoy a hybrid setup that balances flexibility and creative collaboration
• Be part of a studio that values rigour, clarity, and purposeful architecture
