Architect in Skipton

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Architect with approximately 1–3 years' post-qualification experience to join an award-winning, multi-disciplinary design and planning consultancy renowned for delivering beautifully considered architecture across the rural, residential and leisure sectors.

Based from their stunning contemporary waterside studio in Skipton, and offering one of the most flexible hybrid working policies in the region, this is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Architect looking to continue developing their career within a genuinely design-led and supportive environment.

The practice has recently received industry recognition for the quality of its work and continues to build an enviable portfolio spanning bespoke country homes, high-quality residential developments, leisure destinations, visitor attractions, heritage projects and landscape-led masterplanning.

Many of their commissions are located within some of the UK's most picturesque settings, giving Architects the opportunity to work on projects that are creatively interesting, technically challenging and visually exceptional.

This opportunity would particularly suit a recently qualified or early-career Architect who has developed a good foundation of UK project experience and is now looking for an environment where they can broaden their technical knowledge, take on increasing project responsibility and continue developing into a well-rounded Architect.

You don't need to be the finished article. The practice is looking for somebody with the right technical foundations, enthusiasm and willingness to learn, who can develop alongside an experienced team.

The Role

Working alongside experienced Architects, Architectural Technologists, Landscape Architects and Planning Consultants, you will contribute to the design, development and delivery of a diverse range of projects across multiple sectors.

You'll be given the opportunity to build experience across different RIBA stages, gradually taking greater ownership of projects and packages as your experience develops.

The role would particularly suit an Architect who enjoys the technical and delivery side of architecture, while still wanting to work within a practice where design quality remains at the heart of every project.

Key Responsibilities

Support the design and delivery of projects across a range of RIBA work stages.

Develop detailed architectural drawings, technical packages and construction information.

Assist with the coordination of architectural information with consultants and the wider design team.

Develop your understanding of UK Building Regulations, construction detailing and technical standards.

Attend and contribute to client, consultant and project coordination meetings.

Assist with planning, technical design and project delivery through to completion.

Work closely with experienced colleagues to resolve design and technical challenges.

Maintain a high standard of design quality throughout the technical delivery process.

Take on increasing levels of project responsibility as your experience and confidence develop.

Contribute positively to a friendly and highly collaborative multidisciplinary studio.
