The team is structured but open, offering good support whilst encouraging autonomy at project level.

You will take on an Architect position within an existing team, focusing on the RIBA Stages 4 and 5 delivery of a major commercial new build. The project is already moving, so your role will be key in driving technical coordination and seeing the scheme through to completion.
