• The ability to work independently and coordinate effectively with the wider project team.
• A practical, proactive approach and a commitment to quality and professional development. For the Senior Architectural Technician position, demonstrable experience managing technical packages and consultant coordination is expected.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, based on experience and ability.
• 28 days’ annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays.
