Our work spans commercial, residential, healthcare, and education, with a strong emphasis on sustainable design.
This role is ideal for a skilled designer ready to step up from a supporting position to lead projects through all stages of development, from concept to completion.

- collaboration: work closely with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated and innovative solutions
- presentation and compliance: prepare and present design proposals, ensuring they align with planning regulations, building standards, and health and safety requirements
- project management: deliver projects on schedule, with the flexibility to adapt as project needs evolve
Your skills and qualifications:
- RIBA Chartered Architect, or working towards chartership, with a Master’s in Architecture (or equivalent)
- at least two years of hands-on experience within an architectural practice
- proficient in Autodesk Revit, BIM360, Microsoft Teams and Office, Adobe Suite and Enscape
- strong knowledge of UK building regulations, planning policies, and sustainable design principles
- experience with BREEAM is a plus
- exceptional design, visualisation, and organisational skills, with an eye for sustainable innovation and quality
Who we’re looking for
You are passionate about creative, sustainable design and are ready to take your skills to the next level. With experience in sustainable office retrofit design and a solid grasp of UK planning policies, you’re able to work collaboratively and think critically. You thrive in a small, agile team where every member’s ideas are valued and where professional development is encouraged.
Our culture and values:
At Holt Architecture, we value creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability. We stay ahead of technology to streamline our work and elevate our designs, and we provide a supportive and inclusive environment where professional growth is encouraged. With flexible working hours and hybrid options, we prioritise a healthy work-life balance.
Benefits:
- competitive salary and benefits based on experience
- flexible working hours and hybrid work arrangements
- access to CPD and professional development opportunities.
