Residential Design Architect | 3–5 Years Post-Qualification
We are working with an AJ100-listed, multi-award-winning architectural practice renowned for its design excellence, exceptional residential projects and collaborative studio culture. With an impressive portfolio spanning complex prime Central London developments and major urban regeneration schemes, this is an exciting opportunity for a talented Architect with 3–5 years post-qualification experience to join a highly regarded and design-led team.
The practice offers a genuinely inspiring working environment, with an outstanding portfolio, excellent studio culture and a beautiful London office. Hybrid working is available one day per week.

The projects are architecturally complex and highly design-focused, offering excellent scope for professional and creative development.
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.
