Architect or Technician BR Principal Designer

Design your step out of Architecture. Take control of your salary, choose when you work and where you work. Get value for your knowledge of building regulations. You don’t even need to have done the PD role before. You just need to be the pro-active sort who understands what a Tracker or a Spreadsheet is. You’ll get all of the necessary training and hand holding to do the job. And you’ll reap the rewards from day one.

The money and the progression doesn’t just come to a dead end here. The role is growing and evolving, you’ll get your regular pay rises, bonuses and promotions. In 3 - 5 years you’ll be earning almost double. You don’t have to stick to the 9 - 5 in this company. It doesn’t matter to them when you work, or where you work from. There are no core hours. Work whenever you choose.

You’ll notice this about the Built Environment Consultants, they often offer this sort of benefit. Other than an occasional extra catch up, there’s one fixed office day a week. Otherwise, as long as your work is getting done, and deadlines are being hit, you’ve got ultimate freedom. Nobody will ever ask you why you logged on at midnight and finished at 5am all last week.

Would that level of freedom be worth more than another £10k a year for you on its own? The trust wouldn’t end there if you worked here. There’ll be client meetings, site meetings and a job to do. Once you understand how it all works, you’ll be in control of which meetings you need to attend and how you get the job done.

There’ll be shadowing for a week or so and some training on systems, but after that you’ll have the backup and support as and when it’s needed, but it’s your baby from there. It’s not a complicated job. But it is valued. And you will feel valued by your employer, and importantly by the grateful clients.

What you’ll be doing:

• You’ll manage your own portfolio and workload.
• You’ll decide when you need to visit a site or if a client meeting can be done on teams or face to face.
• Collecting and comparing Architectural and administrative details against building regulations and sometimes client requirements.
• Making sure the client knows their responsibilities.
• Working on spreadsheets, trackers and keeping all consultants in line with the Admin required of them.
• Working on projects from stage 0 - 7.

What you’ll need:

• You’ll need to be an Architectural Professional with at least 5 or 6 years of experience in practice.
• As long as you’ve got a good grasp of Building Regulations you can learn the rest really quickly. (You don’t need to know everything about every regulation, as long as you know where to look).
• A basic understanding of what a tracker or a spreadsheet is and experience of using one and staying very organised.
• You don’t need to know the ins and outs of being Principal Designer to apply. You just need to be the pro-active sort who can manage a reasonable workload independently.
