An established and design-led Architectural & Masterplanning practice is looking to appoint an experienced Architect to join its 16-strong studio in Leeds City Centre. Established almost 20 years ago and led by hands-on Directors with backgrounds in some of the UK's larger commercial practices, the business has successfully created the best of both worlds the expertise and project capability of a larger practice, combined with the autonomy, accessibility and collaborative culture of a smaller studio. The practice has an excellent portfolio of work spanning Commercial, Retail, Offices, Education and Residential, alongside bespoke new-build developments, conversions, refurbishments and interior projects. With a healthy workload and a number of projects progressing through design, technical and delivery stages, they are now looking for an experienced Architect who can hit the ground running, work independently and confidently take ownership of projects and packages. The Role This opportunity would suit an ARB-registered Architect with approximately 3 5+ years' post-qualification experience, although applications from experienced Architects outside of this range are equally welcomed. You'll join a close-knit team where you'll be given genuine responsibility and autonomy, working across projects from design development through technical delivery and construction. The practice needs someone capable of working at pace, making decisions and progressing projects without requiring constant supervision, while maintaining a high standard of design and technical output. Key responsibilities will include: Taking ownership of projects and project packages through relevant RIBA stages. Producing and coordinating high-quality architectural and technical information. Developing projects from design intent through detailed design and construction. Coordinating multidisciplinary consultant teams and resolving design and technical issues. Managing your own workload and ensuring information is delivered accurately and to programme. Liaising directly with clients, consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders. Attending and contributing to design team, client and site meetings. Responding proactively to RFIs and technical queries during construction. Supporting and mentoring less experienced members of the studio where appropriate. What We're Looking For The successful Architect will ideally have: ARB registration with approximately 3 5+ years' post-qualification experience. Strong and demonstrable Autodesk Revit capability, with the confidence to use Revit independently on live projects. Previous experience successfully delivering projects within a UK architectural practice. Good design ability combined with a strong understanding of technical delivery and construction. Experience producing and coordinating comprehensive drawing and information packages. The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and deliver at pace. Confidence coordinating consultants and communicating directly with clients and contractors. A sound understanding of UK Building Regulations and current industry standards. Previous job-running and site delivery experience would be highly advantageous. The studio is predominantly Revit-based, although there may initially be a requirement to work in AutoCAD for several months, so previous AutoCAD experience would be beneficial. The Practice This is an excellent opportunity for an Architect who wants greater autonomy, responsibility and project ownership within an established independent Leeds practice. Rather than becoming another number within a large team, you'll work closely with the Directors and senior members of the studio, with the opportunity to have a genuine influence over projects and their delivery. The practice offers a modern and collaborative working environment, alongside flexibility around working hours to accommodate childcare and individual circumstances. Collaboration remains central to the business, so this opportunity will particularly suit somebody who enjoys being part of a studio-based team. Salary: £38,000 £48,000 per annum, dependent upon experience, plus benefits. For further information or a confidential conversation about the position, please contact James Jackson at Conrad Consulting.

An established and design-led Architectural & Masterplanning practice is looking to appoint an experienced Architectural Technologist to join its 16-strong studio in Leeds City Centre. Established almost 20 years ago and led by hands-on Directors with backgrounds in some of the UK s larger commercial practices, the business has successfully created the best of both worlds the expertise and project capability of a larger practice, combined with the autonomy, accessibility and collaborative culture of a smaller studio. The practice has an excellent portfolio of work spanning Commercial, Retail, Offices, Education and Residential, alongside bespoke new-build developments, conversions, refurbishments and interior projects. With a healthy workload and a number of projects progressing through technical and delivery stages, they are now looking for an experienced Technologist who can hit the ground running, work independently and deliver high-quality technical information at pace. The Role This is very much a hands-on technical delivery position and would suit an Architectural Technologist with approximately 3 5+ years professional experience who is comfortable taking responsibility for their own workload and working with minimal supervision. You will join a close-knit architectural and technical team, contributing to the coordination and delivery of several live projects while working closely with Architects, consultants, contractors and clients. Responsibilities will include: Producing and coordinating detailed technical drawing packages. Taking ownership of packages and projects through the technical and construction stages. Developing robust construction details and specifications. Coordinating information from external consultants and the wider design team. Working independently to deadlines within a busy, fast-moving project environment. Identifying and resolving technical and coordination issues proactively. Supporting projects through construction and responding to technical queries from site. Ensuring drawing and model information is accurate, coordinated and issued to programme. What We're Looking For The successful Architectural Technologist will ideally have: A minimum of approximately 3 5 years UK professional experience, although more experienced candidates are equally encouraged to apply. Strong and demonstrable Autodesk Revit capability you should be comfortable using Revit independently within a live project environment. Good technical knowledge with a strong understanding of construction detailing, materials and Building Regulations. Experience producing comprehensive technical and construction drawing packages. The confidence and ability to work autonomously, prioritise workload and deliver information at pace. Previous experience coordinating with consultants and other construction professionals. Experience working within a collaborative BIM environment. Previous job-running and/or site delivery experience would be highly advantageous. CIAT accreditation or progress towards professional membership would be welcomed but is not essential. The practice is predominantly Revit-based, although there may be a requirement to work in AutoCAD during the initial few months, so previous AutoCAD experience would be beneficial. The Practice This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Leeds' established independent architectural practices at a particularly busy period of growth and project delivery. You'll work closely with experienced Directors and senior colleagues, with plenty of opportunity to take ownership rather than simply operating as part of a large production team. The studio has a modern, collaborative culture and offers flexibility around working hours to accommodate childcare and individual circumstances. Collaboration remains central to how the practice operates, so this opportunity will particularly suit somebody who enjoys being part of a studio-based team. Salary: £35,000 £45,000 per annum, dependent upon experience, plus benefits. For further information or a confidential conversation about the position, please contact James Jackson at Conrad Consulting.
