HawkinsBrown is hiring an urban designer to join its team in London.
We are currently recruiting for a talented, motivated and ambitious urban designer to work on a variety of projects to enhance and support the urban design/masterplanning disciplines within our London, Manchester or Edinburgh studios.
HawkinsBrown’s urban design approach is based on bespoke and innovative projects that extend beyond the remit of normal masterplanning practice. Our work is grounded in research interrogating current and future urban practices and is agile across types and scales. We are intellectually rigorous with an integral link to our in-house research think-tank. Each new project is the promise of a fresh idea to our clients. People – both users, clients and designers – are at the centre of our work.
We are looking for a team player and critical thinker with excellent communication skills to join our busy creative studio. The ideal candidate should have exceptional analytical, design and presentation skills, being able to communicate their work in a variety of media by the use of model making, sketching and CAD.
Candidates should be aware of the social, cultural and economic dimensions of masterplanning work and will be at least RIBA Part 2 qualified (or equivalent), preferably RIBA Part 3 qualified (or equivalent), with one to five years’ experience in urban design or masterplanning. Experience delivering masterplans in London and within the UK development context is preferred.
The successful candidate will have knowledge of planning policies and the UK planning process and an ability to produce coherent and well resolved design concepts and masterplanning schemes. Experience in Vectorworks preferred and you must have excellent 2D and 3D CAD and DTP skills.
