Ready to lead, not just deliver?
If you're a Project Architect standing at the edge of Senior and ready to jump, this one's worth a look. A well-established, growing practice in Colchester is handing over real ownership of projects — from first concept to final handover — to someone who wants to shape both the work and the team around them.
What makes this different
Variety is key! You'll move across residential, commercial, education and mixed-use schemes, working with a practice that's investing seriously in its people, its projects, and its next chapter of growth. This is a genuine step up, not a sideways shuffle!

Solid grasp of planning processes, building regulations and technical construction detail
A track record of leading projects from concept to completion
