Role Overview
We are looking for a talented Architect to join our dynamic and expanding Architectural team in London, Nottingham, or Bristol office. You’ll join a growing and evolving division, leading a range of design and sustainability projects, delivering work for the Ministry of Justice on the Future Prisons Programme, a sole supplier framework expected to continue over several years.

You will be given individual pieces of work to undertake with supervision, work alongside talented mentors, and be encouraged and supported to develop and express your design and technical skills.
Your Core Responsibilities Will Include:
- Supporting the development of design solutions, technical detailing, specifications, and project coordination under the guidance of senior architectural professionals.
- Collaborating and communicating effectively with clients, consultants, contractors, and wider project teams to ensure successful project delivery.
- Attending and contributing to project meetings, design reviews, and coordination workshops.
- Working closely with colleagues across a multidisciplinary environment to deliver integrated and high-quality design solutions.
- Providing guidance and support to junior team members where required, helping to foster a collaborative and supportive team culture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
