Architect Opportunities | Belfast | Permanent | Full-time
MPA Recruitment has been retained to appoint an Architect for a thriving, design-led practice in Belfast and this is very much a “let’s talk” moment for the right people.
Whether you’re newly qualified or bring up to 20 years’ experience, if you’re looking for a role where your ideas are heard and your work genuinely makes it to site, this is well worth exploring.
Where great ideas actually get built
If you’ve gained a few years’ experience in practice, or you’re bringing a wealth of it, and you’re ready for a role with real responsibility, visible projects and genuine momentum, this opportunity delivers.
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.
