Job Overview

We are looking for a talented Senior Architect or Architectural Technologist to join our Design & Technical team working on sites of 5-100+ units across Cornwall. Our current sites vary from small bespoke collections of 5-9 all the way up to larger 100+ unit schemes. Although we do have a set of standard housetypes, inspired by Cornish vernacular, we look et each site individually with many of our smaller, higher end sites, being designed individually.
As we provide all Architectural services in house this is a unique opportunity to work on both the design and production of architectural packages of high quality/bespoke designs as well as managing and reviewing the design and technical aspects from acquisition to handover. This will help the right candidate to develop skills in both Architecture as well as design/technical management broadening their skills across both Architecture and development.
You will work closely with our Design and Technical Director in our Truro Office on Lemon Street along with the rest of the Kingsley team. £40k+ salary, negotiable based upon experience, plus bonus and a great amount of career progression opportunities for the right person.
