Job Description

Architect / Senior Architect – Glasgow – Residential & Commercial Projects

An exciting opportunity has opened for an Architect or Senior Architect to join a dynamic Glasgow studio delivering high‑quality residential and commercial projects across Scotland.

If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, enjoy shaping design solutions from concept to completion, and want to be part of a practice that values creativity, collaboration, and technical excellence, this role will feel like home.

 

Why This Role Is a Standout Move

Diverse, design‑led portfolio
Work across private residential, multi‑unit housing, commercial developments, and mixed‑use schemes — no two projects are the same.

A supportive, ambitious team culture
Join a close‑knit studio that encourages autonomy, fresh ideas, and genuine career progression.

Real influence on design direction
You’ll take ownership of projects, lead client conversations, and help shape the future of the practice’s growing portfolio.

Career development built in
Whether you’re newly chartered or operating at Senior level, you’ll have opportunities to grow your leadership, technical, and client‑facing skills.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading and contributing to residential and commercial projects from early concept through technical delivery
  • Producing high‑quality drawings, models, and coordinated design packages
  • Engaging directly with clients, consultants, planners, and contractors
  • Managing project timelines, design decisions, and technical compliance
  • Supporting junior team members and contributing to a positive, collaborative studio culture

 

What We’re Looking For

  • ARB‑registered Architect (or equivalent experience for Senior level)
  • Strong design skills with a portfolio demonstrating residential and/or commercial work
  • Solid technical capability and confidence delivering projects through all RIBA stages
  • Proficiency in Revit and BIM workflows
  • A proactive, organised, and communicative approach
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

 

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Hybrid working options
  • A friendly, modern Glasgow studio with a strong pipeline of work
  • Opportunities to lead projects and influence design direction
  • Ongoing CPD, mentorship, and professional development support
