Job Description

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.
