Iain Cochran Architects Job Opening

Iain Cochran Architects is hiring an architect or architectural assistant (Part 2) to join its team in Suffolk, UK.

We are a young East Anglia-based architectural practice. Founded in 2025.

Our work is varied including new residential developments, modifications to existing homes, listed building refurbishments, master planning, and small to medium-sized developments across East Anglia, the home counties, and London.

With a wide range of clients, we are looking for a self-motivated, hard-working designer with an understanding of emerging technologies to become fully involved in the day to day operation and running of the practice.

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.
