Architect / Architectural Technologist – 6‑Month Contract

Glasgow

£25-£32p/h

6 Month Contract

Flagship £120m project

A leading Glasgow architectural practice is seeking an Architect or Architectural Technologist to join their team on a 6‑month contract, supporting delivery of a major £120m mixed‑use development. This is a rare chance to step into a high‑profile project at a critical stage and make a meaningful impact from day one.

If you enjoy the technical intensity of RIBA Stages 4–5 and thrive in fast‑paced, detail‑driven environments, this contract will give you the platform to showcase your expertise on a landmark scheme.

Why this contract is worth your attention

A flagship £120m project: You’ll be joining the team at a pivotal moment, helping drive technical design and delivery on a complex, multi‑building mixed‑use development with real architectural ambition.

Immediate impact: This isn’t a support‑from‑the‑sidelines role. You’ll be hands‑on with technical packages, coordination, consultant engagement and on‑site problem‑solving.

A respected Glasgow studio: You’ll work within a collaborative, well‑structured team known for delivering high‑quality projects across Scotland — with all the tools, support and clarity you need to hit the ground running.

A perfect fit for someone who loves delivery: If you enjoy the detail, the coordination, the technical challenge and the satisfaction of seeing design become reality, this is your environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the delivery of a £120m mixed‑use development through RIBA Stages 4–5

• Producing and coordinating technical drawings, specifications and detailed packages

• Working closely with consultants, contractors and internal teams to resolve design queries

• Assisting with site coordination, technical compliance and construction‑stage problem‑solving

• Ensuring information is accurate, coordinated and aligned with project standards

What you’ll bring

• Qualified Architect or Architectural Technologist

• Strong experience in RIBA Stages 4–5 (essential)

• Confidence producing detailed technical information and coordinating with wider teams

• Ability to work efficiently within a fast‑moving project environment

• A proactive, delivery‑focused mindset

What’s on offer

• £25-£32p/h

• 6‑month contract with immediate impact

• Hybrid working options

• The chance to add a major £120m project to your portfolio

• A supportive team and a well‑structured project environment

Architect / Architectural Technician

Edinburgh

If you’re an Architect or Architectural Technician who wants to be more involved in projects, more connected to clients, and part of a practice that’s genuinely shaping the future of the built environment, this role offers the autonomy, exposure and progression you’ve been looking for.

You’ll join a collaborative, multi‑sector team delivering Education, Residential and Commercial projects across the North West. This is a role with real influence where your technical skill, design thinking and problem‑solving directly contribute to high‑quality, climate‑resilient architecture.

The Role

Working closely with Principals, senior designers and wider technical teams, you’ll play a key part in developing coordinated, buildable and beautifully resolved design information across all project stages.

Your involvement will span:

• Developing and refining design solutions from concept through technical stages

• Producing detailed drawings, models and documentation using Revit and industry‑standard tools

• Coordinating with consultants, contractors and internal teams to ensure clarity and technical accuracy

• Supporting project delivery across multiple sectors, contributing to both design and technical resolution

• Assisting with client presentations, design reviews and project coordination

• Ensuring information is compliant, coordinated and aligned with project requirements

• Contributing to a positive, collaborative studio culture built around shared learning and innovation

This is not a narrow production role, you’ll be involved, visible and trusted across the full design process.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience as an Architect or Architectural Technician within an architectural practice

• Strong technical capability and confidence producing coordinated drawing packages

• Proficiency in Revit (and ideally AutoCAD)

• A solid understanding of UK building regulations, construction detailing and technical standards

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams

• A proactive, organised and solutions‑focused mindset

• A genuine interest in sustainable, future‑focused design

Whether you’re recently qualified or more experienced, the practice is open to talent that wants to grow, contribute and take on more responsibility.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You’ll join a practice that collaborates across regions, shares best practice and pushes innovation in the built environment. Their work is centred around climate‑resilient, net‑zero design and you’ll be part of the team delivering projects that genuinely make a difference.

Expect flexibility, trust, and a connected working culture that empowers you to do your best work.

Architect (Hotels)

Glasgow

£40,000 - £45,000

If you’re an Architect who wants their portfolio to actually turn heads, this is one of those rare opportunities.

I’m recruiting for a Glasgow‑based studio with a long track record of delivering world‑class hospitality projects, the kind of 5★ hotels you see in glossy travel magazines and think, “I’d love to say I worked on that.”

This role is ideal for a 3–5 year PQE Architect who wants to step into large‑scale, design‑driven international work with serious ambition and serious budgets.

What you’ll be working on

• High‑end luxury hotels in exotic global destinations.

• Complex, design‑led hospitality environments with real creative freedom.

• Projects where quality, detail and guest experience genuinely matter.

• Collaborating with talented designers, FF&E specialists and international client teams.

These aren’t “nice little refurbishments”. These are flagship, multi‑million‑pound developments that will define your portfolio for years.

What they’re looking for

• 3–5 years post‑qualification experience.

• Strong design capability and confidence developing concepts.

• Solid technical understanding and ability to deliver coordinated packages.

• Experience in hospitality is a bonus, but not essential, passion for great design is.

• Someone who thrives in a collaborative, ambitious studio environment.

What’s in it for you

• Exposure to some of the most exciting hotel projects in the sector.

• The chance to travel internationally as projects progress.

• A supportive team who invest in development and progression.

• A portfolio that will open doors for the rest of your career.

If you’re an Architect who wants to work on projects that feel special, not just another job number, I’d love to chat.

Drop me a message and I’ll share more about the studio, the projects, and what the role could look like for you.
