Miller Bourne Architects is a practice of 16 people, based in open‑plan studios overlooking the sea on the coast in Hove. We work on projects ranging from £1M to £25M, predominantly in the education, residential, community and sporting sectors, and so experience in these sectors would be advantageous. New staff are expected to work in the office for an initial period, but following that, we offer hybrid working.

Brighton and Hove is a fantastic place to live and work, being a vibrant and diverse city located close to the South Downs and easily accessible from London.

• Work directly with clients, consultants, and contractors
• Run projects and lead design teams
• Ensure compliance with relevant UK building codes, standards, and regulations
• Prepare and coordinate tender and construction documents
• Present design proposals at all stages
• Conduct site visits and inspections to monitor construction progress and quality
• Maintain accurate project documentation and drawing registers

• Demonstrate reasonable experience in the key responsibilities above
• RIBA Part 3 fully qualified (ARB registered)
• Proficient in Revit and AutoCAD
• Knowledge of Sketch Up and Navisworks (clash detection) – desirable but not essential
• Sound knowledge of current construction legislation, details and techniques – knowledge and experience of MMC would be an advantage
• Awareness of other useful sources of information such as Robust Details, NHBC, LABC, BB93, HTMs, etc.
• Excellent attention to detail and problem‑solving abilities
• Strong communication and teamwork skills and an ability to multi‑task
• Ability to manage projects and meet deadlines
• Knowledge of NBS CAWS and Uniclass and specification writing
• Familiarity with sustainable design practices and modern building technologies
• Experience liaising with planning authorities and regulatory bodies
• A driving licence is desirable but not essential

The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

If our practice sounds like it’s the sort of place you would like to work and develop your career, and you are eligible to work in the UK, please submit your application, with a CV and examples of your work.
