Project Architect

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Project Architect to join a design-led and growing architectural practice based in Sheffield.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an Architect who is ready to take ownership of projects and play a meaningful role within a close-knit, ambitious team.

The Practice

The studio is a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, specialising in unlocking challenging sites and delivering thoughtful, well-resolved design solutions. Their work spans bespoke private homes, sensitive renovations, and increasingly, commercial and industrial schemes including logistics, manufacturing, and re-cladding projects in line with the Building Safety Act.

They foster a dynamic and vibrant supportive culture, with a strong emphasis on flexibility, agile working, and empowering individuals to make a genuine impact on projects and the wider business.

The Role

As a Project Architect, you will take responsibility for leading projects through key stages, working closely with clients, consultants, and the internal team to deliver high-quality, technically robust schemes.
