We're looking for a recently qualified Architect to join one of London’s most established design led practices, working across a beautifully varied portfolio of private residential, restoration, hospitality and mixed-use projects.
This is a studio with a clear architectural identity and a reputation for carefully considered, exceptionally well detailed work, where materials, craftsmanship and the way a building is put together are an important part of the design.
They’re looking for someone with around 1 - 3 years post Part III experience who already has a good technical grounding and is keen to build further experience across project running, contract administration and site, working on projects from RIBA Stage 3 onwards.
A particularly good fit for an Architect who enjoys the technical side of architecture but still wants to work somewhere where design quality is taken seriously.
The Role
You’ll work across projects from RIBA Stage 3 onwards, producing detailed technical information while coordinating consultants, contractors and clients through delivery.
The role requires someone who is comfortable with the practicalities of getting buildings built, but who also cares about design quality, materials and detailing.
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.
