A well-regarded, established architectural practice in central Essex is looking to welcome a Senior Architect to their close-knit team. This is a genuinely varied role within a studio that punches above its weight — combining thoughtful design, strong technical delivery and a warm, collaborative working culture.

The practice has built a loyal and diverse client base, with work spanning bespoke private houses, high-end extensions and barn conversions through to medium-scale residential developments and occasional commercial schemes. No two days look the same, and the successful candidate will play a meaningful role across the full breadth of the studio's output.

Attending new client meetings and contributing to business development and practice growth
	
Carrying out feasibility studies, design proposals and detailed construction documentation
	
Leading on contract administration and site management for small to medium residential schemes
	
Fulfilling the Principal Designer role under both CDM and Building Regulations
	
Collaborating with the wider design team, external consultants and clients to keep projects on time and on budget
	
Attending and contributing to design team meetings

What We're Looking For

ARB-registered architect with a minimum of 5 years' post-Part 3 experience gained within UK practice
	
Confident working across all RIBA stages, including site-based delivery
	
Strong working knowledge of UK planning processes and building control requirements
	
Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD — both are essential
	
Competence as Principal Designer under CDM and Building Regulations
	
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — you'll be client-facing and need to build trust quickly
	
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset suited to a smaller studio environment
	
Valid UK driving licence
	
Full eligibility to work in the UK

What's on Offer

Competitive salary likely to be in the range of £45,000–£55,000 (to be taken as a guide only and fully dependent on experience)
	
Bonus scheme
	
Professional subscription fees reimbursed (RIBA/ARB or equivalent)
	
Employer pension contribution
	
Annual leave that grows with your length of service
	
Eye care provision
	
Mileage allowance
	
Regular in-house CPD sessions with lunch provided
