Following a successful settling-in period, hybrid working will be available with a minimum of three days per week in the office, although full-time office-based working is also welcomed.

* Private Health Insurance
* Hybrid working after initial office-based period
* Pension scheme
* Opportunities for professional development and career progression
* Supportive and collaborative working environment
Daily duties will include:
* Developing innovative and well-considered design proposals across all project stages
* Producing high-quality drawings, visualisations, and technical documentation
* Working closely with colleagues, consultants, and clients to deliver projects successfully
* Participating in design reviews, meetings, and presentations
* Assisting in the coordination of projects from concept through to completion
* Ensuring designs meet relevant regulations, budgets, and deadlines
The ideal candidate will have:
* ARB registered
* Revit capabilities
* A strong design-led portfolio demonstrating creativity and technical ability
* Confidence in presenting and communicating design ideas clearly
* Experience within an architectural practice environment
* Strong organisational and time-management skills
* A collaborative mindset with the ability to work well within a team
* A proactive and enthusiastic approach to design and problem-solving
