Job Description

Are you a technically strong Senior Architect with advanced REVIT expertise? Join AECOM’s Architecture team in Manchester or London and contribute to the delivery of complex, high-quality design projects across a range of sectors.


The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Architect with a strong background in technical detailing and digital delivery. REVIT will be your primary daily tool, and a REVIT assessment will form part of the application process.

Initially, you will focus on the Justice Sector, covering MoJ, Courts, and Home Office projects, working:

  • Directly with the client on feasibility and Stage 2 proposals
  • As a Technical Assessor to monitor compliance and project progress on site
  • As part of contractors’ multidisciplinary design teams on additional projects

Key Responsibilities

  • Daily production and coordination of models and drawings in REVIT
  • Preparing, reviewing, and approving drawings
  • Liaising with design and drafting teams across disciplines
  • Delivering moderate to high-complexity design packages (with supervision as required)
  • Producing detailed drawings in line with project specifications and established standards
  • Preparing specifications, reports, and supporting data tables
  • Undertaking material take-offs, measurements, and area calculations directly from REVIT (including basic architectural calculations)
  • Reviewing and interpreting vendor, subcontractor, and third-party designer documentation
  • Ensuring compliance with codes, permits, and discipline-specific standards
  • Knowledge/usage of CDE platforms for document control and coordination
  • Marking up drawings using Adobe PDF and working confidently within Microsoft Office applications

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.
