MADE Careers is working with a leading London architecture and design practice looking to appoint an Architect to join its growing team.
This is a great opportunity for a confident, design led Architect who wants to take real ownership of projects, working from early concept and design development through to technical delivery and completion.
You’ll work across a varied portfolio of high quality UK and European projects, collaborating closely with architects, interior designers and external consultants within an established and highly regarded studio.
The Role
You’ll be involved across all RIBA stages, contributing creatively at the outset of projects while also taking responsibility for their coordination and delivery.
Depending on your experience, you’ll have the opportunity to run one or more projects, manage project teams and consultants, and take responsibility for programme, quality and commercial performance.
Responsibilities
- Develop design concepts and ideas from project inception
- Produce high quality drawings, presentations, reports and design information
- Take projects through design development, technical delivery and completion
- Coordinate with consultants and wider design teams
- Prepare detailed drawing packages, specifications and models
- Manage project programmes and deliverables
- Support and lead architects and architectural assistants within project teams
- Maintain a strong understanding of UK planning, Building Regulations and relevant statutory requirements
- Work directly with clients and consultants throughout the project
- Support the successful commercial and financial delivery of projects
- Run one or more projects depending on scale and experience
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.

- High quality UK and international projects

Why This Role
This would suit an Architect who enjoys the full process of architecture rather than being limited to one project stage. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute creatively, develop client and consultant relationships and take increasing responsibility for running projects from inception through to completion.
It’s a particularly good move for someone looking for more ownership and progression within a well established London design practice.
Apply
We’d be keen to hear from ARB registered Architects with strong UK practice experience, particularly those confident across both design and delivery and ready to take greater ownership of projects.
