Architect

Architect – Birmingham | £37,000 – £42,000

An established Birmingham architecture practice is hiring an Architect to join its team. A busy studio with 18 months to 2 years of confirmed workload already in the book, a distinctive sector specialism, and a route to make a genuine mark on the projects you take on.

The work is technically demanding, spanning specialist infrastructure alongside residential. Long-running client relationships, complex briefs, and a workload that keeps things interesting week to week.

You’ll be picking up live projects and contributing from the off. 

The Architect role, day to day:

• Working live projects across a varied mix of specialist transport and residential work.
• Producing detailed design and technical drawings.
• Coordinating with senior architects, consultants and client teams.
• Seeing projects through from design into delivery, with visibility of how they land on site.

What we’re looking for in this Architect:

• Minimum 3 years of UK-based practice experience.
• Post-Part 2 stage or recently qualified, with a track record of contributing to live projects.
• Revit preferred but not essential (they’ll train candidates with some 3D modelling background).
• Confident producing drawings and picking up work with limited hand-holding.
• Strong communicator, comfortable in a collaborative studio setting.

Why this Architect role in Birmingham is worth a look:

• 18 months to 2 years of confirmed workload behind the role. Steady pipeline, no feast-and-famine cycles.
• A technically demanding workload with the kind of specialist exposure that’s tricky to get in most studios.
• Fully office-based during a 3-month probation, then flexible working with up to 2 days WFH.
• 20 days annual leave, plus 8 bank holidays and 3 office closure days between Christmas and New Year (31 in total), with a service escalation on top.
• Weekly team catch-ups and an informal Friday session keep the studio culture ticking.
• Salary £37,000 – £42,000 depending on experience.
