Recruit Build is working with an established, growing construction consultancy that delivers major residential refurbishment, regeneration and high-rise housing projects across the UK. This is an opportunity to join a highly experienced technical team and work on schemes where your knowledge of construction, detailing and Building Regulations will genuinely influence how projects are delivered.

- Producing coordinated technical drawing and construction packages
- Preparing information for planning, Building Regulations, tender and construction
- Developing practical detailing solutions for residential refurbishment and high-rise buildings
- Coordinating information with structural engineers, MEP consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders
- Reviewing designs against current Building Regulations, British Standards and planning requirements
- Attending site inspections, surveys and construction reviews
- Identifying and resolving technical and buildability issues
- Supporting project programmes, technical reviews and quality assurance procedures

- A degree, HNC, HND or equivalent qualification in Architectural Technology or a related discipline
- At least five years’ post-qualification experience within the UK construction industry
- Experience delivering residential refurbishment projects
- Strong technical knowledge of high-rise residential buildings
- A thorough understanding of UK Building Regulations and construction methods
- Experience producing detailed working drawing and construction packages

- CIAT membership or progress towards Chartered status
Applications are also welcomed from technically strong Architects or RIBA Part 2 Architectural Assistants who are looking to complete Part 3 within the next six months and can demonstrate the relevant residential experience.

This consultancy has built a strong reputation within the social housing sector and continues to secure a varied pipeline of technically challenging projects. The package includes:
- Up to 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
