We are seeking a practical, technically capable and digitally confident Junior Architectural Assistant / Technician / Drafter to support the architectural delivery of the Bramshill Estate restoration and development programme.
The primary purpose of the role is to work closely with Lead Designer to translate his ideas, sketches and design direction quickly into drawings, with associated CGI renderings or AI-generated visualisations and ultimately coordinated construction information.
The role will provide the additional technical resource required to accelerate designs through RIBA Stages 1–5, from initial concept and visualisation through planning, technical design and construction.
This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role. The successful candidate should be able to sit with the principle designer, understand an idea quickly and turn it into something that can be seen, reviewed, amended, approved and progressed without unnecessary delay.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work directly with the Lead Designer to translate concepts, sketches and verbal direction into architectural drawings and visual material.
- Produce and develop architectural packages across RIBA Stages 1–5, from concept through planning, technical design and construction.
- Rapidly create plans, elevations, sections, and setting out for internal review.
- Develop agreed concepts into planning, Listed Building Consent and other statutory submission drawings.
- Progress approved designs into coordinated technical and construction information.
- Produce detailed drawings and packages suitable for contractors and the site team.
- Coordinate architectural information with structural, MEP, interiors and other specialist consultants.
- Incorporate surveys, site measurements and existing-condition information into drawing packages.
- Maintain drawing registers, revisions and appropriate document control.
- Identify missing information or technical issues early and **escalate** them quickly to avoid delays.
- An understanding of both residential and commercial building regulations and the ability to challenge any design direction that does not meet building reg requirements.
Candidate Profile:
We are looking for an Architectural Assistant, Architectural Technician, Architectural Drafter or similarly trained individual who combines strong architectural drawing skills with excellent digital and visualisation capability.
The successful candidate should have:
- Architectural qualification or relevant technical training.
- Strong Vectorworks and/or Revit capability.
- Strong 3D modelling and CGI/visualisation skills.
- Confidence using current AI image-generation and architectural visualisation tools.
- Excellent architectural drawing and presentation skills.
- Good understanding of construction detailing.
- Understanding of the RIBA Plan of Work and requirements across Stages 1–5.
- Ability to interpret sketches and verbal direction and translate these rapidly into visual and technical information.
- Strong attention to detail while maintaining pace.
- Ability to manage multiple drawing packages simultaneously.
- Confidence working with architects, consultants, contractors and site teams.
- A practical, solutions-focused approach.
Experience with listed buildings, heritage projects, complex residential projects or historic estates would be particularly advantageous.
Responsibilities will include:
- Produce AI-generated visual mock-ups to explore and communicate architectural ideas.
- Create 3D visualisations of proposed designs, spaces, finishes and architectural interventions.
- Turn sketches, photographs and existing site conditions into visual representations of proposed changes.
- Produce quick alternative design options so that decisions can be made before progressing into detailed drawing production.
- Maintain awareness of emerging AI and architectural visualisation tools that could improve the speed and quality of design development.
- Clearly distinguish conceptual/AI imagery from technically verified architectural information and ensure final drawings accurately reflect approved design intent.
