Ready to lead, not just deliver?

If you're a Project Architect standing at the edge of Senior and ready to jump, this one's worth a look. A well-established, growing practice in Colchester is handing over real ownership of projects — from first concept to final handover — to someone who wants to shape both the work and the team around them.

What makes this different
Variety is key! You'll move across residential, commercial, education and mixed-use schemes, working with a practice that's investing seriously in its people, its projects, and its next chapter of growth. This is a genuine step up, not a sideways shuffle!

• Produce detailed drawings and models in Revit and AutoCAD, backed by strong technical detailing knowledge
• Prepare construction documentation and keep planning/building regs compliance watertight
• Get out on site - monitor progress, quality, and design intent in person
• Be the calm, confident voice in client and contractor negotiations
• Coach and develop junior architects, helping shape the next generation of the team
• Juggle timelines, budgets and multiple live projects without missing a beat
• Bring concepts to life visually using Adobe Creative Suite

What you'll bring

• ARB and RIBA qualification, with 5+ years' UK post-Part III experience
• Confident across AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite
• Solid grasp of planning processes, building regulations and technical construction detail
• A track record of leading projects from concept to completion
• Strong negotiation and client-facing communication skills
• Comfortable managing several projects at once, with the tools to prove it

What's in it for you

• £42,000–£55,000 depending on experience

• Free on-site parking
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
