This role joins an architectural team who support and provide direction to our Project and Design teams throughout the design to delivery cycle of projects across 45 countries. It’s a key appointment to help ensure the continued successful delivery of our projects in a timely and cost-effective manner as we continue to grow and build on our own 60-year history.

In particular you will:

A natural communicator – in all its forms – you’ll adapt to your audience and the demands of the tasks in hand, ensuring you maintain and enhance our high standards of delivery coupled with a focus on continuous improvement.

We have a strong belief in working towards a circular economy with a commitment to sustainability, and we’ll expect you to embrace and uphold this in all aspects of your work. We’re proud of our culture and track record of success but are striving for ever increasing ways to enrich the lives of people as architecture is shaped by the public realm and local culture. So, we offer you this challenging, developmental and rewarding opportunity, but so much more.
