Konker is recruiting for an Architect to join the residential team at one of South Wales’s leading RIBA practices.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with national housing developers and PLCs, contributing to the design and delivery of well-designed residential schemes across the UK.

You’ll join a supportive team of Architects and Technologists, working on a range of projects including open-market housing, affordable housing and retirement living.

The practice offers a collaborative environment, with genuine opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career.

The Role: Architect

  • Design and deliver residential projects from planning through to completion.
  • Work closely with national housing developers and PLCs on large-scale housing schemes.
  • Produce planning and technical drawing packages.
  • Coordinate with clients, consultants and other members of the design team.
  • Ensure projects comply with current UK Building Regulations and relevant legislation.
  • Utilise BIM software, ideally Revit, with training available where required.

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.
