Role Description

The Architect role is a full‑time, on‑site position based in Olney. We believe that the best teams work together; however, the working day can be flexible to help deal with external issues and routines. The Architect will be responsible for developing design concepts, producing detailed architectural drawings and specifications, and coordinating with internal teams and external consultants throughout the project lifecycle. Daily tasks include meeting with clients to understand project requirements, preparing design presentations, managing planning and building regulation submissions, and ensuring that designs are practical, sustainable, and aligned with budget and timeline expectations. The role also involves overseeing aspects of project delivery, collaborating with construction and interiors teams, and maintaining high standards of quality and compliance across all assigned projects. A successful candidate must be interested in helping to develop and improve internal processes that help improve the client journey and inter‑team relationships.
