Part 2 architectural assistant

Woldon Architects is hiring a Part 2 architectural assistant to join its team in London.

Woldon Architects is looking for an imaginative and capable Part 2 architectural assistant to join our London studio.

We work on workplace, mixed-use and bespoke residential projects, including both new-build and refurbishment schemes. Our work ranges in scale and character but is united by a belief that good architecture comes from curiosity, careful thinking and a genuine enjoyment of the process.

This is an opportunity for a talented designer to become part of a close-knit practice, contribute ideas from the outset, and gain experience across all RIBA stages. You will work alongside our Senior Architects and Partners on live projects, developing your design, technical and communication skills in a supportive, ambitious environment.

We are a friendly and social studio with a positive, hands-on approach to our work. We care about the quality of what we produce, but we also want the studio to be an enjoyable place to spend time. We are looking for someone who brings energy, perspective and enthusiasm.

You will contribute to projects from early design and planning through to detailed design, technical delivery and completion. Day to day, this may include developing design ideas and presentations, producing drawings and visualisations, researching materials and precedents, coordinating with consultants, and assisting with technical information and project administration.

You should be comfortable taking initiative, asking thoughtful questions and working independently when needed, while also being a generous and reliable member of a team.
