Architectural Technologist

A leading Glasgow architectural practice is seeking a Senior Architectural Technologist to play a key role in the delivery of high-profile Ministry of Defence (MOD) and secure government projects across the UK.

This is a unique opportunity to work on highly sensitive, nationally significant developments that directly support critical UK defence infrastructure. You'll be involved in projects where precision, technical excellence, and security are paramount, collaborating within a highly experienced team operating in a fully integrated Revit/BIM environment.
