Senior Architect (Technical & Construction Lead)
Περιγραφή εργασίας
This role is positioned at the intersection of design intent and built reality, taking full ownership of technical and construction delivery so that the partners can focus on strategic growth.
This is a senior, autonomous role for an architect who brings immediate and measurable value to the practice. The successful candidate must be capable of operating independently, making sound technical and commercial decisions, and confidently representing the office in both client and site environments.
Beyond project execution, this role is expected to add strategic value, raising technical standards, improving delivery processes, strengthening contractor and consultant relationships, and positively influencing the overall performance of the office.
The position offers a strong positive career trajectory for the right individual. However, this is not a developmental role. The successful candidate must demonstrate the caliber, maturity, and professional authority to perform at a high level from day one and to consistently excel in a demanding, delivery-focused environment.
