ARB Registered Architect

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ARB-registered, recently qualified Architect to join a growing architectural design team within a contractor led environment, with a strong and active pipeline of healthcare projects. This is an opportunity to broaden your delivery experience, gain regular site exposure, and work directly with clients, consultants and construction teams on live, technically demanding schemes; with real scope to take ownership of workstreams and progress with a good degree of independence.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate architectural projects, or defined project packages, from design development through technical delivery and construction, appropriate to experience
• Develop high-quality design and technical information in Revit and AutoCAD, maintaining accuracy, coordination and consistency across the project information set
• Apply healthcare design experience to planning, clinical functionality, patient and staff environments, technical coordination and compliance, with working familiarity of relevant HBNs and HTMs
• Coordinate multidisciplinary consultant information, proactively identifying and resolving design and technical issues
• Attend and contribute to client, design-team and site meetings, communicating actions clearly and following them through to completion
• Work closely with contractor and site teams to understand buildability, sequencing and construction methodology, using regular site visits to build in-depth construction knowledge
• Prepare presentations, reports, design reviews and client-facing material using Adobe Creative Suite and other relevant tools
• Manage day-to-day project priorities, programme commitments and deliverables, escalating risks or key decisions when required
• Support project quality, document control and internal review processes, ensuring information is issued to the required standard
• Work collaboratively with senior architects, assistants and wider project teams while progressing tasks independently
