Role Description

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Architectural Technician to join a well established RIBA chartered architectural practice with 40+ years' experience, typically working on bespoke residential design for private clients and discerning developers.

You will be working alongside a Project Architect, helping them to assess project requirements and develop client briefs from conception through to technical designs and specifications suitable for pricing, construction and building regulations. This is also an excellent opportunity for candidates experienced in 3D presentation software and concept scheme modelling.

Key Responsibilities:

• Preparation of RIBA stage 4 working drawing packages, details and specifications for pricing, building regulations and construction purposes.
• Create detailed 3D models of buildings and structures from design conception through to construction using Revit software.
• Undertaking technical design reviews from early conception through to construction to ensure compliance with the relevant standards and regulations.
• Collaborate with other members of the design team to ensure effective co-ordination of the technical design and respond to Contractor requests for information to ensure effective project delivery.
• Carry out site inspections during the construction phase and provide technical advice to ensure compliance with the relevant standards.
• Attending meetings and dealing with Clients/stakeholders requests and collaboration with other members of the design team and contractors.
• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously working independently or as part of a team.
• Provide software training and technical support to other junior members of the team.
• Experience in contract administration would be advantageous, but not essential as you will be working alongside a Contract Administrator.
• Experience in preparing pre-tender health and safety plans and essential duties of a Principal Designer as duty holder would also be advantageous.

Key Requirements:

• A recognized architectural technician qualification or equivalent.
• Excellent knowledge of building regulations and standards.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.
• Proficient in the use of Revit and AutoCAD software.
• Good problem solving and professional attitude.
