Architect – Education Sector
Windsor, Berkshire
£60,000–£80,000 + Commission (Negotiable Depending on Experience)
I’m working with a leading Design & Build business that’s growing its Education division from its Windsor base, and they’re looking for a talented, enthusiastic Architect to join an ambitious, expanding team.
You’ll work on a variety of Education projects, mostly at RIBA Stages 2 and 3, with the chance to get involved earlier and help shape schemes from the outset. They want someone who can bring creative flair and strong technical knowledge together, turning innovative concepts into practical, well-considered design solutions. Personality and attitude matter just as much as the portfolio, so they’re after someone positive, energetic and genuinely excited about the opportunity.
What you’ll be doing:
- Working across a range of Education projects, mainly RIBA Stages 2 and 3, with occasional involvement at earlier design stages
- Developing creative architectural concepts that respond to client briefs, project requirements and educational environments
- Producing high-quality design drawings, presentations and technical documentation
- Balancing creative thinking with technical knowledge so designs are both innovative and deliverable
- Collaborating with internal design teams, consultants and project stakeholders
- Contributing fresh ideas and helping shape the design direction of projects
- Playing an active part in the growth of the Education business unit
What’s on offer:
- £60,000–£80,000 + commission, negotiable depending on experience
- A growing, ambitious Education division within an established Design & Build company
- A varied role with a genuine balance of creative design and technical development
- The chance to influence designs from the early stages
- Excellent career progression as the division expands
- A collaborative, supportive environment where ideas and creativity are encouraged
Requirements:
- Previous architectural design experience within the Education sector (essential)
- A strong mix of creative design ability and technical understanding
- Experience across RIBA Stages 2 and 3, ideally with exposure to earlier concept stages
- Able to communicate creative ideas while understanding the technical requirements behind them
- A collaborative approach and the confidence to contribute ideas within a growing team
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with colleagues, clients and consultants
- A positive, energetic personality with a genuine passion for architecture and design
If you’re an Architect with Education experience who enjoys both the creative and technical sides of design, this one’s worth a chat. All conversations are confidential.
