Job description

Bristol / South West

Permanent

I’m currently working with a well-established multidisciplinary practice who are looking to bring an experienced Senior Architect into their Education / Healthcare team.

They have a strong pipeline of projects across the sector and are looking for someone with solid experience who is keen to take on more responsibility, with a view to progressing towards Associate level.

The role will involve working across a range of Education and Healthcare projects, from early feasibility and briefing stages through to technical design and construction. You’ll be involved in developing the design, coordinating information and working closely with clients, consultants and the wider project team.

Experience across DfE projects and frameworks such as CF21, CF25, the School Rebuilding Programme, PSBP, BSF, or experience working on Healthcare projects and NHS frameworks, would be highly beneficial.

The role:

• Lead and support Education / Healthcare projects through feasibility, concept, developed and technical design stages
• Develop design proposals in line with the brief, relevant sector requirements and project programme
• Prepare and coordinate drawings, layouts, schedules and technical information
• Attend and lead design reviews, workshops and stakeholder meetings
• Work closely with clients, contractors, consultants and the wider project team
• Help identify and resolve design and technical issues as projects progress
• Coordinate architectural information with the wider multidisciplinary team
• Support with project programmes, resources and deliverables
• Provide guidance and support to junior members of the team
• Get involved in mentoring and sharing your technical knowledge with the wider team
• Contribute to the wider studio and team environment

What they’re looking for:

• ARB registered Architect
• Good experience within the Education and/or Healthcare sectors
• Experience delivering projects through to technical design and construction
• Knowledge of relevant sector requirements, standards and frameworks
• Strong technical knowledge and understanding of construction
• Good working knowledge of Revit and BIM
• Confident communicating with clients, contractors and consultants
• Someone who is comfortable taking responsibility and helping to lead a project team
• A collaborative approach and someone who enjoys working as part of a wider team

This is a good opportunity for someone who is already operating at Senior Architect level and is looking for a bit more responsibility, with a clear opportunity to progress towards Associate.
