Cambridge, UK
Part 2 architectural assistant
at Cowper Griffith Architects
Cowper Griffith Architects is hiring a Part 2 architectural assistant to join its team in Cambridge, UK.
CGA works across a number of sectors, with a particular focus on bespoke residential, community/visitor facilities, ecclesiastical, housing and higher education. No two scenarios are alike, though many involve the careful conservation, extension and betterment of heritage assets and precious landscapes. Our award-winning work is bound by a consistent quality, sensitivity, ingenuity and craft, as we seek to create enduring spaces and settings informed by a deep understanding of their contexts.
We work primarily in the South East and East Anglia, often on beautiful rural and coastal sites, though we have nationwide coverage for the right project. We are regularly invited to bid for interesting work and we have recently secured several high profile wins. We also deliver award winning, contemporary buildings for a range of national and regional heritage and landscape custodians.
We seek candidates with:
- an interest in contextual, contemporary architecture
- excellent drawn, written and oral communication skills
- experience across work stages
- some familiarity with UK building regulations and practice
We use Vectorworks 3D, SketchUp and the Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud.
Projects range in size from £0.25m to £10m plus. Staff are expected to be able to work independently, reporting directly to a senior colleague, or as part of a small team delivering larger and more complex proposals.
Our small, purpose-built offices just south of Cambridge and on a direct line to London offer a bright, open plan and collaborative working environment.
With 15-20 staff, the practice is relatively small but increasingly busy, and we anticipate a stimulating 2025.
Salary will be in line with current survey data. CGA offers full support through Part 3 studies.
Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK.
To apply please send a covering letter, CV and portfolio (no larger than 10MB) via the apply for job button below.
Application closing date: 1 May 2025
