The Fordingbridge studio has particular experience across Residential, Historic & Conservation, Hotels & Hospitality, Community and Care & Senior Living projects, with project values typically ranging from £2m - £40m. The successful Architect will have the opportunity to work across a diverse range of projects, with a particular focus on residential schemes currently.
Based from a purpose-built studio on the edge of the New Forest, the Fordingbridge team currently consists of around 30 staff, with a long-term growth plan in place. This is an excellent opportunity for an Architect with around 3 years' experience to join an established and collaborative team, taking responsibility across a range of RIBA stages while working alongside experienced Architects, Technologists and Designers.
The ideal Architect will have experience working on high-rise residential projects and/or residential masterplanning schemes, although this is not essential. Our client is particularly interested in Architects who have a strong understanding of residential design, good technical knowledge and confidence using Revit, with the opportunity to develop their project-running and client-facing experience within an established practice.
Our client places a strong emphasis on training, mentoring, professional development and career progression. This is an excellent opportunity for an Architect looking to build on their post-qualification experience, take on greater responsibility and progress their career within an established AJ Top 100 practice.
