Job Description
About you
You are an Architectural Technician who enjoys being close to the full life of a residential development, not just producing drawings and passing them on.
You like being part of a smaller team where your input actually matters. The sort of role where you can walk across the office, speak to the commercial or construction team and see how your work turns into homes on site.
You probably live somewhere around West Yorkshire and like the idea of working on developments you can actually drive past and see progressing.
This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, variety and being trusted to get on with the job.
Your experience
You will already have experience working as an Architectural Technician or Architectural Technologist within residential housebuilding or residential development.
You will be comfortable producing CAD drawings and technical information for housing developments.
You will have been involved in planning applications, layout work and technical detailing for residential schemes.
You understand how a housing development moves from planning through to construction and you are confident working with site teams when technical questions come up.
Experience within a regional housebuilder or residential developer would fit well here.
What you will be doing with your experience
You will be supporting the Technical Manager on a range of residential developments across West Yorkshire.
The business typically builds around 50 to 60 homes per year with developments ranging between 40 and 60 plots. Property values tend to sit between £250k and £800k so these are well designed residential schemes rather than large volume housing estates.
Your role will involve producing CAD drawings, supporting planning applications and preparing the technical information needed to move projects from concept through to construction.
Some site visits will be part of the role so you can see how the developments are progressing and help resolve technical queries with the construction team.
About the business
This is a privately owned residential developer based in Leeds.
The office team is around 15 to 20 people covering accounts, sales, technical, commercial and construction so it has a close knit feel where people know each other and work together.
They focus on delivering quality residential developments across West Yorkshire rather than chasing volume across the whole country.
It is the sort of environment where people stay for the long term because they are trusted, supported and involved in the full development process.
