Part II Architectural Assistant in Essex

Are you an Architectural Designer looking to take the next step and become a Top Performing Architect? We require experience in the residential sector with knowledge of Building Regulations that you can represent in your work and discuss in detail during the interview process. Do you love creating great living spaces for people and continually improving the success of your output, but are not getting the ongoing support or rewards that you deserve from your present employer? Do you want to join an Established Business and be an important cog in their growth plan? We are not simply offering a job; we are offering a future within the business.

We’re a growing design-led architectural practice based in Essex, working on an expanding portfolio of residential and bespoke projects across the South East. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a talented, articulate, and driven RIBA Part II to join our team — someone that is eager to jump straight in and work across a number of projects at varying stages from day one. You will also be exposed to all stages of a project including liaising with other industry professionals. Applicants need to demonstrate a ‘can do’ attitude, be able to work alongside the MD, and work well on their own. The ideal candidate will be mature-minded, proactive, and full of creative energy. You’ll bring strong technical skills, a design-first mindset, and hands-on experience across all RIBA work stages in a design-led environment. If you’re ready to do your best work yet — and be recognised for it — we’d love to hear from you. UK residential experience is a MUST. Please send your CV and Portfolio (most recent work only - last 12 months).

Role and responsibilities:

• Client-focused with experience.
• Effective communicator with consultants, contractors, and specialist subcontractors to resolve design and site challenges.
• Capable of delivering projects from inception to completion.
• Skilled in producing drawn technical information competently.
• Knowledgeable and compliant with UK regulatory requirements, including Planning and Building Regulations.

We are looking for an ambitious, design-focused architect who has:

• RIBA Part II (must have been undertaken in the UK) with residential experience in a design-led practice working on UK residential projects with a solid understanding of UK Building Regulations and standards.
• A ‘can-do’, proactive attitude.
• Be self-driven and motivated.
• Have a flexible and open attitude towards new ways of working and the ability to handle multiple roles and responsibilities within a busy office.
• Proven experience and the ability to work concurrently on multiple projects.
• Strong design and technical skills and meticulous detailing ability.
• The ability to work across all RIBA work stages.
• Excellent working knowledge of AutoCAD and SketchUp.
• Proficient in Adobe Suite (InDesign and Photoshop).
• Be well organised with good time management.
• Have a proficient level of spoken and written English.

What the practice can offer you:

• A competitive salary based on experience.
• A growing company looking to create leaders to springboard our reach and become a key decision-maker and leader.
• Governing body registration fees paid yearly.
• A friendly and collaborative environment based in the Brentwood countryside – own car is essential.
• On-site free parking and travel expenses.
• Biannual company social.

All candidates should be eligible to work in the UK. This is a full-time, studio-based position. Own car and driver's licence essential due to our remote location and the nature of our work.
