Project Architect

£45,000 - £50,000

Permanent

Central London, London

Run your own projects, from secure defence facilities to high-profile commercial buildings, with a London practice that backs its people..

A multi-award winning Architectural Practice in London is looking for an experienced Project Architect to take a lead role in its Defence & Commercial team. You’ll be running your own projects from technical design right through the construction stages.

The workload is wide-ranging. Think secure facilities for defence clients, plus offices, headquarters buildings, industrial and logistics schemes, as well as medical and training facilities for some well-known commercial names. The practice has built its reputation on bringing designers and technologists together from day one, so the design intent isn’t lost between concept and completion. With the majority of their work coming from repeat clients, you’ll also get to see projects through with people you know and trust.

What you’ll be doing

• Running projects independently through the technical and construction stages
• Producing detailed working drawing packages and coordinating sub-consultant information
• Preparing NBS specifications
• Leading and mentoring project team members
• Acting as the point of contact for clients, consultants and contractors

Essential Requirements for candidates:

• RIBA Part 3 qualified Architect with over 5 years’ post-qualification experience
• ARB registered
• Proficient in Revit
• Strong technical design skills and a proven record of taking projects through construction stages
• Able to prepare NBS specifications
• Comprehensive knowledge of current Principal Designer duties under the Building Safety Act, UK Building Regulations and CDM obligations
• Excellent communication and team management skills, with the ability to run jobs independently
• Commercial or defence sector experience would be ideal, but all sectors will be considered
• Security clearance is a bonus rather than a requirement

What you’ll receive:

• Salary: Likely to be in the range of £45k-£50k
• Professional memberships paid (RIBA and CIAT)
• Life assurance at two times salary
• Pension scheme with employer contributions
• Discretionary Christmas bonus, plus a loyalty bonus that increases with each year of service
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, with extra days at 5, 10 and 15 years of service
• Flexible hours
• Health and wellbeing support, including a virtual GP service and mental health support
• Active social calendar and a staff referral scheme

The role offers the chance to have two days a week working from home after probation.

If you’re an Architect who is ready to own your projects and wants the variety of defence and commercial work, apply today.
