The Birmingham studio is currently a close-knit team of four and is entering an exciting period of significant growth, with the ambition to reach around 10 people by mid-2027.

Your responsibilities will include: Leading the design and delivery of architectural projects across a range of sectors. Taking responsibility for projects from early concept and feasibility through to completion. Providing architectural leadership and technical direction to project teams. Managing and mentoring junior members of the Birmingham team. Supporting the continued recruitment and development of the growing studio. Acting as a key point of contact for clients and maintaining strong client relationships. Liaising with consultants, contractors, planning authorities and other project stakeholders. Overseeing the production of high-quality design and technical information. Ensuring projects are delivered to the required programme, budget and quality standards. Supporting the preparation and submission of planning applications. Contributing to project fee proposals, scopes and resource planning.
