Architect required to join the commercial team within an award-winning boutique RIBA Chartered Architectural practice based in Leeds (LS5). Initially, you will play a key role in delivering a range of retrofit, re-cladding and refurbishment projects on high-rise residential buildings across the region and M62 corridor, while also supporting projects within the education, civic and residential sectors. Our client is a long-established, medium-sized practice with an outstanding reputation for delivering a diverse range of architectural projects across the residential, commercial, education and civic sectors. Their portfolio spans everything from bespoke housing developments through to large-scale mixed-use schemes valued in excess of £150 million. With a strong pipeline of work and ambitious growth plans, the practice is looking to appoint a talented Project Architect who is keen to take ownership of projects and develop into a senior leadership position over the coming years. The Role Initially, you'll work closely with the practice's developer client base, supporting the national programme of cladding remediation and retrofit works on high-rise residential buildings. This programme is expected to provide a secure workload for the next two years, offering the opportunity to gain valuable experience on technically challenging projects with significant social impact. The role will involve splitting your time between the Leeds studio and project sites across Yorkshire and the wider M62 corridor, making excellent communication, client-facing skills and a willingness to travel essential. Whilst your initial focus will be within the retrofit and remediation sector, you'll have the opportunity to diversify into other project types across the practice's commercial, residential, education and civic portfolio, leading projects through all RIBA work stages. This position has been created with succession planning in mind. For an ambitious Architect looking to step into a more senior role, there is a genuine pathway towards Senior Architect, Associate and future leadership, with increasing responsibility for project delivery, client relationships, mentoring junior staff and contributing to the continued growth of the practice. Architect Requirements ARB registered Architect (RIBA membership advantageous). Typically 3-5-years' post-qualification experience within a UK architectural practice. Experience delivering projects through a number of RIBA stages, ideally taking responsibility for project coordination and client liaison. Previous experience within the residential, commercial or mixed-use sectors, with high-rise or remediation experience being advantageous but not essential. Good understanding of the Building Safety Act and Gateway process, or a willingness to develop expertise in this area. Experience working within BIM environments, ideally using Revit. Working knowledge of AutoCAD. Good understanding of UK Building Regulations, CDM and current technical standards. Confident communicator with strong client-facing and relationship-building skills. Organised, commercially aware and capable of managing your own workload across multiple projects. Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle, with a willingness to attend site visits across the region. Ambitious individual looking to progress into a Senior Architect, Associate or future leadership position. Salary & Benefits Up to £40,000 Workplace pension. 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays. Flexible and hybrid working (up to 50% home working). Modern studio environment with free on-site parking. Structured career development with genuine opportunities to progress into Senior Architect, Associate and leadership roles.
