Company Description
Jolie is an award winning Interior design practice focused on creating spaces that engage all five senses to connect people meaningfully with place.
The studio approaches environments holistically, shaping how spaces are perceived, remembered, and used over time.
This philosophy, called Immersive Aesthetics, informs every project and aims to add experiential value that is felt rather than consciously noticed.
Team members at Jolie contribute to sensory-rich, purpose-driven designs- in Hotel, Hospitality and Commercial spaces- that seek to improve the way people live, work, and interact with their surroundings.
Role Description
The Senior Architectural Technician will play a key role in developing detailed technical information and documentation that brings Jolie’s immersive design concepts into buildable reality.
This full-time hybrid position is based in London, with flexibility for some work from home.
Day-to-day responsibilities include preparing and coordinating technical and construction drawings, producing CAD models, and supporting architects and designers in translating conceptual designs into compliant, efficient solutions.
The role involves liaising with consultants and contractors, ensuring that technical details align with design intent, building regulations, and project timelines.
The Senior Architectural Technician will also contribute to quality control, technical reviews, and continuous improvement of documentation standards and workflows.
Qualifications
- Strong foundation in Architecture and Architectural Technology, with experience supporting complex design projects from concept through construction.
- Strong leadership skills and experience managing more junior members of the technical design team.
- Proficiency in Technical Drawing and Construction Drawings, including the ability to produce clear, accurate, and coordinated documentation sets.
- Experience in detailing and delivering complex Hotel projects highly desirable.
- Advanced skills in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools and relevant architectural software; experience with BIM platforms and REVIT is highly beneficial.
- Thorough understanding of UK building regulations, construction methods, materials, and detailing, particularly for high-quality interior and experiential spaces.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with multidisciplinary teams, consultants, and contractors.
- Strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, and capability to manage multiple deadlines in a design-led environment.
- Relevant professional qualification or degree in Architectural Technology, Architecture, or a related discipline; chartership or professional accreditation is an advantage.
- Experience working in London or the UK built environment sector and an interest in sensory, experiential, or hospitality-focused design are desirable.
