Your new company

This well-respected design studio, with a long-standing presence both nationally and globally, believes that design ideas are better when everyone comes together. With a strong reputation for what they do, especially in the sector of high-end/bespoke residential, this firm is growing and is excited to bring across an experienced Senior Project Architect who’s capable of running projects and has been working with high-end clients to project manage their houses from concept through to delivery. You must be able to complete the Design, Document and Contract Administration phases of a project under the supervision and support of the principles and directors.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a well-rounded Architect with a solid 5–7 years' of experience. Ideally, with residential and education sector experience. Local government/tender experience would be a bonus. This role is more front-end in the concept/design space, and we'd want someone with a bit of a 'can-do' attitude, and someone who is also good at client relationships.

Your new role

• Manage projects from inception through to completion;

• Maintain high quality design outcomes while ensuring projects are delivered on time and on budget;

• Assist with project design in association with directors;

• Attend client meetings and presentations, including meeting minutes;

• Liaise with all consultants, regulatory bodies, and local councils throughout all phases of projects;

• Produce 2D/3D drawings/sketches using Revit;

• Sketch concept ideas and details by hand;

• Be able to work simultaneously on different projects;

• Assisting other staff with queries throughout all phases of projects, including training/mentoring of graduates as required;

• Contribute towards the creation of agenda and strategy for projects;

• Clear understanding of current stage of project and scope with a view to identifying what is outside the scope and bringing it to the attention of Team Leader for additional billable work;

• Be willing to make suggestions on how office procedures and culture can be improved;

• Be able to review drawings/documents thoroughly.
