An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior ARB Architect to join a dynamic, award-winning practice in central London. Specialising in residential and mixed-use developments, this firm focuses on sustainable design and place‑making, working with both public and private sector clients.

As Project Lead, you will oversee projects from concept to completion, managing design, delivery, and coordination across RIBA Stages 1-6. You'll also play a key role in business development, contributing to exhibitions and industry events.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage design and delivery through RIBA Stages 4-6, including contract administration and low‑carbon detailing.
• Collaborate with project teams and consultants, ensuring high standards across all stages. This is a small team, so you will have support and chance to mentor others but also be required to be hands‑on with technical drawings too.

The ideal person will be:

• ARB Registered Architect with 5 years or more post‑Part 3 experience, including years of on‑site experience.
• Strong technical and design skills, with experience across all RIBA stages.
• Proficiency in ArchiCAD (Ideally recent 3 years plus) and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Ability to manage projects, teams, and clients, while maintaining a focus on sustainability.

Why Join?

This role offers the chance to work on impactful projects within a small, forward‑thinking practice. With hybrid working, a collaborative environment, and opportunities for professional growth, this is a great chance for an experienced Architect to shape both projects and the future of the practice.
