Project Architect

If you're a Project Architect who enjoys being surrounded by good architecture, talented people and genuinely interesting projects, this is one of those opportunities that's worth exploring.

I'm working with a well-established Glasgow architectural practice that has built an outstanding reputation over many years, not through flashy marketing or rapid expansion, but by consistently delivering thoughtful, high-quality design across a diverse portfolio of work. They are now looking to strengthen their team with the appointment of a Project Architect who is ready to take ownership of projects and play a key role in their continued growth.

This is a studio where design quality genuinely matters. They have created an environment where architects are trusted to contribute ideas, challenge one another and take pride in producing work that stands the test of time. Their projects span hospitality, hotels, commercial developments, workplace, mixed-use and a range of other sectors, giving architects the opportunity to build a varied portfolio rather than becoming pigeonholed into one project type.

One of the things that makes this practice stand out is the calibre of both their work and their people. They have assembled a team of experienced architects and designers who enjoy collaborating, sharing knowledge and continually pushing projects forward. There is no unnecessary hierarchy or office politics. Instead, you'll find a close-knit studio where everyone is working towards the same goal of delivering exceptional architecture for their clients.

As a Project Architect, you'll be involved throughout the full project lifecycle, from early concept design through planning, technical delivery and construction. You'll take responsibility for coordinating project teams, liaising directly with clients, consultants and contractors, and ensuring projects are delivered to the high standards the practice has become known for. They are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, is confident managing relationships and has the technical ability to turn strong design ideas into successful buildings.

This is very much a studio-based role, with the team working from their Glasgow office five days a week. For the right person, this is seen as a real positive. The collaborative culture they've built relies on people working together, sharing ideas in real time and learning from one another. Whether it's sketching around a table, solving technical challenges or celebrating project successes, they believe the best work happens when the whole team is together.

Career progression is based on ability rather than simply years of experience. If you're ambitious, enjoy taking responsibility and want to continue developing your career within an established practice that values long-term investment in its people, you'll be given every opportunity to do so.

I'm keen to speak with qualified Architects who have experience leading projects, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and delivering schemes through the various RIBA stages. Strong communication skills, commercial awareness and confidence working directly with clients will all be important.

If you're looking for a move to a practice where quality comes before quantity, where you'll work alongside genuinely talented people and where every project offers something different, I'd be delighted to tell you more. All conversations will be handled in the strictest confidence.
