London, UK
Project architect
at Rise Design Studio
Rise Design Studio is seeking a project architect to join its team in London.
Ever wanted to work in a studio where innovative design meets a good cup of tea (or café con leche if you prefer)? Well, here’s your chance.
We’re Rise Design Studio and we’re on the lookout for an ambitious, talented project architect to join our tight-knit team in London. We’re working on high-end residential, hospitality and educational projects across London, Ireland and Spain.
If you’re the type of architect who thrives on juggling multiple projects, loves collaborating with clients and consultants and knows your ArchiCAD from your Adobe Suite, we’d love to hear from you. And if you’ve got a passion for blending digital fabrication with traditional craftsmanship – you’ll fit right in.
Why you’ll love working with us:
- you’ll take the lead on projects across all RIBA Stages (from start to finish, not just concept or detailed design work)
- you’ll be the face of Rise to our clients, so charm and professional know-how are both essential
- You’ll help us manage project spend and timelines
What we’re looking for:
- ARB Registered with at least three years’ post-qualification experience in the UK
- experience working in design-led architectural practices, especially on bespoke, high-end interiors and finishes
- competent ArchiCAD user (this one’s non-negotiable), with some visualisation chops in Twinmotion, Lumion or Enscape
- keen eye for detail, technical knowledge of UK building regulations and the ability to sketch up something that wows
- a proactive, can-do attitude – whether you’re solving design problems or just trying to figure out the coffee machine
The perks:
- a supportive and collaborative studio culture, with a goal-oriented work environment that offers flexibility and encourages self-management
- competitive salary (yes, you can afford more than Pret every day)
- bonus leave during the Christmas break and the opportunity to visit exciting architectural works on our away days
- company pension scheme – because you’re building your future too, not just everyone else’s
- regular office day-outs and team-building events every quarter to inspire creativity and strengthen collaboration
- monthly evening lectures and drinks to spark conversation and foster continuous learning
- opportunities for professional growth and leadership within the practice – we are looking for someone who, in time, will take on a leadership role and help us grow and diversify the studio
- birthday leave policy so you can enjoy your special day off
- hybrid working
The essentials:
- fluent in Adobe Suite and Microsoft
- excellent communication skills (we like people who can talk, sketch and email – sometimes all at once)
- right to work in the UK and currently based in London (sorry, no long-distance relationships here)
If you’re ready to join a small studio with big ambitions and take your career to the next level, we’d love to hear from you. Just send your CV, portfolio and a cover letter to Imran via the ‘apply for job’ button below.
We’re an equal opportunities employer, so if you’ve got the passion, the skills and the right to work in the UK, we want to hear from you.
