Exclusive to GRØ Careers. Not advertised on job boards, not shared directly by the employer, and not available via any other agencies.
When it comes to your architectural career, the role you obtain as a Part 2 Architectural Assistant can define the rest of your career… arguably one of the most important moves you’ll make.
This role sets the foundation for your future.
At this early stage, understanding your pathways becomes vital…
Join a studio that is too small, and your exposure/level of responsibility can be amazing, but at the cost of project scale and variety.
Join a studio that is too large, and you can work on amazing projects at the cost of exposure (being stuck on window/door schedules isn’t going to leave you fulfilled, even if the scheme is flagship).
The perfect balance?
A medium-sized studio with a reputation for designing and delivering award-winning work across cultural, residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and pavilions.
Primarily UK-led with a wider international portfolio.
