Associate / Associate Director (Architect) | Industrial & Logistics | London | Competitive Salary
If you've built a strong reputation within the Industrial & Logistics sector and you're looking for the opportunity to shape something rather than simply inherit it, this role offers exactly that. You'll join an established, multidisciplinary AJ100 practice with a respected presence in the sector, but with genuine freedom to influence its future direction. Rather than stepping into a role where everything is already defined, you'll have the opportunity to help grow the sector, strengthen client relationships and make your mark on both projects and the business itself. For someone who enjoys combining design leadership, commercial thinking and team development, it's a chance to take ownership while being supported by an ambitious practice that backs good ideas and gives people the responsibility they're ready for.
You'll lead the delivery of Industrial & Logistics projects from concept through to completion, acting as lead designer across all RIBA stages while working closely with clients, consultants and internal multidisciplinary teams. Alongside project leadership, you'll play a key role in developing new business opportunities, nurturing existing client relationships and helping shape the future pipeline within the sector. You'll mentor and support colleagues, provide technical leadership and use your experience to influence both project outcomes and wider business strategy. This role would suit someone with a proven track record in Industrial & Logistics, strong commercial awareness and the confidence to lead major projects while helping grow a specialist sector.
You'll be joining one of the UK's largest multidisciplinary design practices, recognised nationally for delivering high-quality architecture across a diverse range of sectors. Despite its scale, the culture remains collaborative, approachable and entrepreneurial, with people encouraged to take ownership of their ideas and develop their careers at their own pace. Investment in professional development, clear progression opportunities and a genuine emphasis on empowering individuals means you'll have the platform to build both your own profile and the continued success of the Industrial & Logistics team. If you're looking for a role where your experience can genuinely influence the direction of a business, this is an opportunity that's difficult to replicate.
