London, UK
Architect
at Hayhurst and Co
Hayhurst and Co is looking for a recently-qualified project architect to join its team in London.
We design environments that enable and support communities, and spaces that respond inventively and pragmatically to patterns of life and physical contexts. We are interested in materiality, landscape, sustainability and community and aim to foster a design-based research culture. We are currently working on a wide range of projects from one-off houses, new-build schools through to estate regeneration strategies.
The position will involve work on a number of projects through all RIBA stages with a focus on either one-off homes or education and community projects in the first instance.
We are looking for a talented designer with experience of taking projects through design, detailed design and construction stages: a team player with an appetite to think big alongside an eye for the nitty-gritty and who isn’t shy of technical challenges. The successful candidate will be a design-led motivated architect that can deliver high-quality projects.
We have won the AR Schools Award as well as multiple RIBA, NLA, AJ Retrofit and Civic Trust Awards and our work has been published nationally and internationally.
Hayhurst and Co. is an equal opportunities employer and a member of the London Practice Forum. We are keen to receive applications from a diverse range of candidates and we actively encourage applications from under-represented groups.
Key requirements:
- RIBA Part 3 (or equivalent qualification) and be ARB registered
- UK-based practice experience
- strong design skills and technical detailing knowledge
- experience across all RIBA work stages (particularly working at RIBA Stages 4 and 5 in the UK)
- experience of UK regulatory framework including building regulations and CDM
- excellent written and verbal communication skills
- proficiency in Revit, Adobe Creative Suite and Vectorworks preferred
- effective interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a team
- good communication and presentation skills
- excellent time management, organisation, planning and attention to detail
- ability to work autonomously as well as part of a team
- ability to multitask while working under pressure
- ability to think creatively and problem solve through design
