The role
We are recruiting for a project leader to manage projects and support the growth of Fluid as a field-leading co-design practice.

This is a client-facing role working closely with Fluid directors and other project leaders across the business, and sister company Soundings. The post holder will be responsible for delivering high-quality projects to time, scope and budget. Bid management and report production will also be key to the role.
You should have a minimum of five years’ industry experience in the field of urban design and architecture and a thorough understanding of the sector and role of engagement in delivering sustainable communities.
