Job Description

Architect (Newly Qualified) Cambridge Salary £32,000-£35,000

If you ve just qualified (or you re a couple of years in) and you want a role where you ll build proper delivery experience, work across more than one sector, and be backed by a team that ll help you progress - this is a strong move.

This is a Cambridge-based, RIBA Chartered practice (circa 20 people) delivering projects from £500k to £30m across leisure, education, industrial/logistics and residential. Big schemes for a team this size, so you won t be waiting years to see something substantial.

The day-to-day
  • Taking packages from concept through to planning and technical delivery, depending on the project stage
  • Producing and coordinating drawing information in AutoCAD and Revit/BIM
  • Working with consultants to resolve design and technical issues quickly
  • Joining client meetings and helping push decisions forward
  • Building confidence across multiple RIBA stages - not just one slice of the process
Why this is a good step
  • You ll get variety: different sectors, different teams, different project challenges
  • You ll be close to senior staff, so you ll learn faster and get feedback that actually helps
  • You ll work on larger-value projects than most studios of this size can offer
  • You ll join a sociable office with regular team events and charity days
You ll suit this if you ve got
  • ARB registration (or you re very close) and up to 2 years post-qual experience
  • UK practice experience and confidence producing technical drawing info
  • AutoCAD experience (Revit/BIM is a big plus)
  • A practical mindset - you like solving problems and keeping things moving
  • A full UK driving licence is helpful, not essential
