at Project London
Project London is hiring a project architect/senior architect/senior technologist to join its growing team in London.

About you
You are a confident, organised architect with strong leadership experience in high-end residential projects. You are as comfortable running projects as you are supporting others to do the same – mentoring junior staff, managing internal resources, and helping improve processes.
You combine creativity with a commercial mindset, understand the demands of HNW and UHNW clients, and have a clear grasp of how to maintain project profitability while delivering outstanding results. You lead with clarity, communicate with warmth and authority, and thrive in a fast-paced, design-led environment.

- oversee client presentations, drawing packages, technical detailing, and specifications
- take ownership of resourcing and time planning across your team (experience with Harvest or similar a plus)
- support team members through mentorship and day-to-day guidance
- monitor project profitability and ensure that scope and fees are proactively managed
- oversee contract administration and liaise with consultants and contractors on site
- maintain quality across all deliverables, ensuring design integrity and technical compliance
- uphold Project London’s standards of design, communication, and professionalism
Required qualifications:
- a degree in architecture/technology
- strong experience across all RIBA stages, particularly in luxury residential projects
- proven ability to lead project teams, both in-studio and on-site
- excellent knowledge of UK building regulations, contract administration, and construction methods
- confident managing clients, consultants, and contractors
- highly proficient in Vectorworks (2D)
- skilled in Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office
- experienced with (or open to learning) time-tracking and resource planning tools
- detail-oriented, process-driven, and commercially aware
Why join Project London?
- competitive salary, based on experience
- hybrid working model: three days in our Parsons Green studio, two days remote

- be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team
