Job Description

Thought about an Architecture adjacent career move, but not sure how best to apply your skills?

This could be for you in that case = we're looking for a Principal Designer, or someone aspiring to be one. One of the most important new-ish roles in the design and construction industry, becoming more and more common as a standalone role as a result of the BSA.


What's on offer?


  • Multi-disciplinary consultancy of Project Managers, Surveyors, Commercial, Planning and Architecture. 250 people nationwide covering most sectors of design and construction.
  • About 20 in the Architecture team, another 2 Principal Designers to work with and the support and drive to get you accredited, experienced and climbing the ladder.
  • 32 days' holidays + bank holidays, private healthcare, 50% off gym memberships, and more.
  • Being part of potential massive success story as the company goes from strength to strength, continuing astronomical growth.



What do you need?


  • You'll need to be passionate about doing things once, the right way. Your role is essential for the smooth designing and building of projects.
  • You'll be experienced with the CDM regulations, the BSA and ideally HRBs. If not HRBs, you'll need to be an accredited PD or soon becoming one.
  • Ideally, you will have dealt with the responsibilities of being a PD - planning, monitoring and coordinating health & safety throughout the design and build process.
  • Experience dealing with contractors and other design consultants will be useful too.
