Project Architect / Experienced Part II Assistant
Nest Design & Build | Bristol
We are looking for a talented Project Architect or experienced Part II Architectural Assistant to join our growing team in Bristol.
Nest is an integrated architecture, interiors and construction company specialising predominantly in high-quality private residential projects. We build what we design, so our focus is on producing high-quality, considered and fully coordinated architecture that works not only on the drawing board, but through detailing, costing and construction on site.
Our architectural team works closely with private clients, external consultants and our own in-house construction team throughout the process, providing a level of involvement in the delivery of projects that isn't always possible within a traditional architectural practice.
We are open to candidates at either Project Architect or experienced Part II level, with the position and level of responsibility tailored to the experience of the successful candidate.
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.

Working at Nest
We work differently from a traditional architectural practice. Our architecture, interiors, kitchen design and construction teams work collaboratively, meaning the relationship between design and construction is central to how we work.
Because we ultimately build many of the projects we design, our architectural team remains closely involved in how designs are developed, coordinated, costed, detailed and delivered. It provides an opportunity to develop a strong understanding of construction and to see the direct relationship between decisions made during design and their execution on site.
The role is based from our North Bristol office, but we encourage a healthy and flexible balance between working from home and working collaboratively in the office.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to join a growing team and become closely involved in the design and delivery of high-quality residential architecture from initial concept through to construction.
