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.

• Curiosity, rigour and a desire to work in a sector where detail truly matters

If that sounds like you, you’re already aligned with what this team values.
