Senior Architect | London | £60,000 + Bonus

Perkins&Will is seeking senior architects with proven experience in large commercial development projects to join its team in London.

As a senior architect, you’ll be a confident design and delivery lead – shaping ideas, guiding teams, and bringing clarity to complex challenges. You’ll take ownership of project packages and processes, lead coordination across disciplines, and represent the design vision to clients, consultants and collaborators.

You’ll work in a studio that thrives on curiosity and crossover – where ideas flow freely between scales and sectors to unlock fresh perspectives. We think wide and work deep, shaping projects across the UK and internationally, from transformative science‑led innovation and pioneering healthcare and education, to city‑shaping masterplans and workplaces built for the future.

Everything we do is rooted in our living design philosophy, which puts people, place, and planet at the centre of every decision. We believe architecture should connect people, lift spirits, and leave places better than we found them. That’s the kind of work we do – and the kind of people we do it with.
