We're a friendly, enthusiastic and highly motivated collective, growing in order to meet an increased demand across a variety of sectors and geographies. We're currently working on a number of iconic projects internationally, spanning a diverse range of typologies and scales from mixed-use architectural projects through to large-scale / city-wide masterplanning schemes and megaprojects, to technology initiatives in the built environment.

The following knowledge, capabilities and experience will be required in order to be shortlisted for interview:

• excellent project leader with delegation skills, comfortable running a project (or projects) with minimal oversight
• ability to use 3D software (proficiency in Rhino is absolutely essential for anyone applying for this role); strong parametric / computational capabilities are a bonus
• expertise in BIM (for Senior Architects this is a must; less so for Senior Urban Designers)
• excellent communication and presentation skills and an ability to collaborate effectively with wider project teams and consultants
