Architectural Technologist / Architect

Do you thrive on seeing a ‘Build’ come to life? If you are an experienced technologist or technically focused architect looking for a new role, that is both challenging and thought-provoking – then this is the role for you.

The ideal candidate will display a passion for detail, with previous experience of bringing client visions to life.

Perhaps you have worked on commercial projects, and are now looking to apply your technical knowledge to modern, contemporary homes. Maybe you have worked in a larger practice and are looking to take more ownership of projects.

You will demonstrate an ability of taking ownership of a project following planning approvals at  stage 3 through to completion, be a team player but equally comfortable working autonomously, using your own initiative to meet customer expectations.
