Ready to take ownership of exciting architectural projects while working within a genuinely collaborative and supportive practice?
We are working with an established RIBA Chartered architectural practice that is looking to appoint an experienced Project Architect to join its growing team.

The Role
As a Project Architect, you'll play a key role in taking projects from concept through to construction, combining architectural design with strong technical understanding, coordination and project delivery.
You'll work collaboratively with the wider design team, helping develop design solutions, coordinate project information and ensure that projects are delivered to a high standard.

You'll join a people-focused practice with a collaborative, no-ego culture, where everyone is valued, trusted and encouraged to contribute.
There is a genuine commitment to maintaining a healthy work/life balance, with a 4.5-day working week, an early 1pm finish on Fridays
