9B Careers is working with a small, design-led architectural practice of around seven people in NW3, specialising in high-end residential architecture and interiors.

They are looking for an experienced Project Architect with around five years’ experience who can take genuine ownership of projects from start to finish.

The Role

  • Run high-end residential projects with limited senior oversight
  • Take projects through the full process from early design through to completion
  • Manage clients confidently and build strong working relationships
  • Lead consultant and contractor coordination
  • Develop both creative and technical aspects of projects
  • Produce and oversee detailed technical information
  • Increasingly work on design-and-build projects alongside trusted building partners
  • Help shape the practice's approach as it focuses on fewer, higher-value projects

About You

  • Qualified Architect with around 5 years' UK experience
  • Proven experience taking at least five residential projects from start to finish
  • Experience running projects rather than only delivering individual technical packages
  • Strong technical ability combined with a good design eye
  • Confident client-facing skills
  • Able to work independently and take responsibility for projects
  • AutoCAD experience essential

This is an opportunity to join a close-knit seven-person studio where you will have genuine responsibility and visibility across the practice. The role is initially office-based five days a week to become fully embedded in the team, with flexibility developing over time.
