The Bluelime Group of Companies are seeking a skilled Architectural Technologist/Retrofit Designer to join our dynamic team in our Erith Office (DA18). The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of architectural design and technical drawings, with proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit. This role involves collaborating with Architects and Engineers to create detailed designs and models, ensuring that all designs meet industry standards and client specifications.

About Us
We are an award winning Architectural/Surveying Practice focusing on residential, commercial and social housing design sectors throughout London and the South East. Based in Erith, SE London, we specialise in Heritage Listed buildings and HRB surveys and designs on large volume contracts. This involves designing energy efficient upgrade works to existing social housing properties across all of London. PAS2035 standard is a key requirement to achieve in this sector.
We undertake our own building surveys in-house using the latest 3D scanning equipment including terrestrial/SLAM laser scanners, measurement and thermal drones. For the best achieving candidates we will provide training including pilot licensing to fly our drones and use the latest hardware and software the industry has to offer.
We have an ambitious strategy for further growth across London and the South East and need to build our teams to facilitate this growth.
About You
We are looking for a particularly special kind of person to come on board with us at this exponential growth stage of our business. That person needs to have the aspiration and desire to go the extra mile and meet the demands of our Commercial, Social Housing Associations, Care Home and School Clients over several projects at any one time.
Technical design experience is key. The ability to draw section details to a high standard in Revit would be beneficial. If you have experience either as a PAS2035 Retrofit Coordinator, Retrofit Designer or Retrofit Assessor this will be a distinct advantage. Also anyone with experience in Building Surveying would be suitable for this role.
The role is office based at our Erith HQ where you can benefit from face to face dialogue and support from the rest of the design team.
