Architectural Technologist

The Opportunity

We are working on behalf of an established architectural practice of approximately 25 people who are looking to appoint an experienced Architectural Technologist to join their team.

You will be involved in the technical delivery of a range of justice‑sector projects, from refurbishment and compliance works through to larger‑scale improvement programmes.

You will be expected to take ownership of projects, manage technical information and coordinate with clients, consultants and contractors to ensure projects are delivered effectively and to the required standards.

• Taking responsibility for the technical delivery of projects across RIBA Stages 3–5.
• Developing and coordinating detailed design and construction information.
• Producing and reviewing technical drawings, specifications and project information.
• Working across refurbishment, fire safety and compliance‑led projects.
• Coordinating with multidisciplinary consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders.
• Managing technical issues and resolving design and construction challenges.
• Working within live public‑sector environments, where careful planning, compliance and communication are essential.
• Taking ownership of project packages and, where appropriate, running projects with a high level of autonomy.
• Supporting projects through construction and responding to technical queries as they arise.
• Ensuring designs and technical information meet relevant regulations, standards and client requirements.

We are looking for an experienced Architectural Technologist with strong technical delivery skills and a proven ability to take ownership of projects.

• Professional experience within an architectural practice.
• Strong experience delivering projects through RIBA Stages 3, 4 and 5.
• Excellent knowledge of technical design and construction detailing.
• Strong Revit skills.
• Experience working on refurbishment, retrofit, compliance or technically complex projects.
• The ability to coordinate projects and work confidently with consultants and contractors.
• A good understanding of UK Building Regulations and relevant technical standards.
• The confidence to work autonomously and take ownership of your projects.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.

Experience with in justice, public‑sector, healthcare, education, custodial or other highly regulated environments would be particularly beneficial, although relevant technical experience from other sectors will also be considered.

This is an opportunity to join a close‑knit practice where you can have genuine ownership of your work and play a key role in the technical delivery of a specialist project portfolio.

• Hybrid working.
• A varied portfolio of technically challenging projects.
• The opportunity to work on high‑profile justice and public‑sector buildings.
• Significant involvement across RIBA Stages 3–5.
• A high level of autonomy and responsibility.
• The opportunity to develop your project‑running and technical leadership experience.
• A collaborative team environment within an established practice of around 25 people.

If you are a technically strong Architectural Technologist looking for a role where you can run projects, take ownership and work on challenging refurbishment and compliance projects within the justice sector, we would be keen to hear from you.
