Job Purpose

We are seeking an experienced Senior / Project Architect to join us in‑house architecture studio within a real estate development company. This is a hybrid senior role, combining hands‑on architectural delivery with development‑side design management, consultant oversight, and project governance.

The role requires ownership of projects from early concept through delivery and handover, acting as both Lead Architect and Design / Development Manager.

Ensure compliance with:
- Planning conditions
- Building Regulations
- Fire strategy and statutory requirements
- Employer’s Requirements and Development Brief
Control document status, revisions, and issue procedures

4. Development & Commercial Oversight

Work closely with Development, Commercial, and Construction teams to align design with budget, programme, and risk
Review and manage consultant appointments, scopes of service, and fee proposals
Review payment applications, milestone completions, and variation requests
Support procurement by reviewing tender queries, contractor proposals, and technical submissions

5. Site Ownership & Construction Stage Involvement

Maintain design ownership during construction, acting as the design authority
Attend site regularly to review progress, quality, and compliance
Review and respond to:
- RFIs and technical queries
- Shop drawings and samples
- Design changes and site instructions
Ensure the built work reflects the approved design and specifications

6. Client, Stakeholder & Team Management

Act as a primary client‑side design lead, representing the company internally and externally
Manage communication with:
- Internal development and construction teams
- Local authorities and statutory bodies
- External consultants and contractors
Mentor and manage junior architects and assistants within the studio
Support recruitment, workload planning, and capability development within the studio
