We’re looking for an experienced Architect with significant professional experience in a similar UK‑based role to join our in‑house RIBA Chartered Practice. Our design team has a passion for architecture and technical design that really makes a difference to our community and creates a lasting legacy across Nottinghamshire.

There is a broad range of projects across an impressive portfolio of local government initiatives such as libraries, schools, social care and new or existing buildings of a wide range of scales. It’s a responsibility we take seriously and deliver with pride.

• Lead on your own projects, delivering superb architectural designs that protect the client’s brief.
• Liaise with colleagues across the RIBA stages to assimilate additional information into your designs.
• Produce a range of designs in 2D/3D using Autodesk Revit and other visualisation and photo‑editing software.
• Manage varying workloads and challenging deadlines.

• Experienced in RIBA stages 2 to 4/5; wider experience across all RIBA stages is advantageous.

• Highly proficient in Autodesk Revit for 3D collaborative design and 2D production information output.

• Knowledge of current and emerging technical design, construction and environmental issues, legislative requirements, and statutory responsibilities.
• Knowledge of public sector design is a bonus.

• Attractive package based on experience.
• Travel expenses to and from site.
• Local Government Defined Benefit Pension Scheme and life assurance of 3× salary.
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays and additional birthday leave.
