Project Architect

Project Architect – Nottingham | £38,000-£45,000

A growing Nottinghamshire architecture practice is hiring a Project Architect to join a busy studio.

A pipeline packed with large-scale residential and development work, a relaxed studio culture, and an active growth story with more offices on the horizon.

The work spans large-scale residential development, plus recent moves into BTR and PBSA. If you’ve worked with national developers on schemes that go from concept all the way to on-site, they’ll want to talk.

The Project Architect role, day to day:

• Taking live projects across the full RIBA lifecycle, from 0 to 5 and into construction on site.
• Running your own projects, holding client relationships, and coordinating consultants and contractors.
• Producing and coordinating design and technical packages, primarily in Revit or ArchiCAD.
• Working on schemes that actually reach the ground, not just planning submissions. There are projects in construction right now.
• Contributing to a collaborative studio, in-office three days a week minimum.

What they’re looking for in this Project Architect:

• ARB registered, RIBA Part 3 qualified.
• Proven track record of running large-scale residential, BTR or PBSA schemes with national developers or comparable clients.
• Ability to hit the ground running on live jobs.
• Genuine interest in the residential development space.
• Collaborative, communicative, and up for being in the studio.

Why this Project Architect role in Nottingham is worth a look:

• A studio built around work/life balance in a genuine way: no overtime, enforced lunch breaks, 37.5-hour weeks, 27 days holiday plus bank holidays plus a festive shutdown (roughly 38 days in total).
• Private healthcare, and a package that reflects the level.
• High retention, low turnover, and monthly one-to-ones for wellbeing.
• Growth trajectory: two additional offices planned over the next 12 months, so genuine progression potential for the right people.
• Weekly food and snacks, social events, and a summer sports day.
• Regular mentoring opportunities, including university links, plus senior-to-junior mentoring internally.
