at LSI Architects
LSI Architects is seeking a Part 1 architectural assistant to join its team in London.
We have a fantastic career opportunity available for an exceptional Part 1 architectural assistant in our London office.
About us
LSI Architects is an AJ100, award winning architectural practice with over 70 people, including architects, technologists and support staff, based in London and Norwich.
We seek to create sustainable, innovative, valuable and positive Architecture that improves lives, builds communities and enhances society, or as we put it – life touching design.
Working at LSI, you’d have the opportunity to work in a variety of sectors including the commercial, residential and workplace sectors as well as in the education and healthcare sectors where LSI is recognised as one of the leading architectural practices operating in the UK.
Our projects take us to locations throughout the UK, but we have a particular focus on projects in London, Norfolk, Cambridge and the Eastern Region.
You’d join a practice which has long been recognised as one of the best employers in the construction industry. We have been in the top 100 Best Small Companies to work since 2016 and are gold accredited by Investors In People and the Mind Workplace Wellbeing Index. Our clients tell us that they value our professional, collaborative, friendly and creative approach to projects and that our team is great to work with.
We want our people to be happy, healthy, highly trained and highly motivated to deliver the quality design and committed service our clients expect from us. Increasing these four things in equal measure, for every one of our team, allows us to become stronger, achieve our ambitions and generate better design opportunities that challenge, and allow us to explore our potential.
And so, we really look after our people, not just because of our legal obligations, but because we believe that they are our greatest investment. In fact more than 50% of our leadership team is made up of people who have come through the ranks at the Practice. Employee retention and wellbeing statistics suggest we’re doing things right. In the last 12 months, LSI’s employee turnover stood at less than 5%, significantly below the industry average.
About you
You will need to demonstrate the following:
- excellent design and visualisation skills
- great communication and interpersonal skills
- competence in 3D CAD
- ability to work as part of a team
- willingness to learn and develop
Benefits
As well as working in a great place offering a good work-life balance, you’ll enjoy some great benefits including competitive remuneration, flexible working, regular team events and our annual study trip which in recent years has taken us across to Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Budapest.
We are currently supporting a number of graduates through the Level 7 architectural apprenticeship and this is a route we would be actively looking to support with the successful candidate.
We are an equal opportunities employer.
