Senior Architect - Nottingham | £48K-£50K
Want a Senior Architect role with strong flexibility, varied sectors, and a substantial workload behind it?
Konker is recruiting for a Senior Architect to join a long-established Nottingham architecture practice.
Strong pipeline, a growing local team, and the kind of hybrid setup that actually works: 2-3 days a week in the office, the rest from home.
You'll work across public sector, commercial, education, and residential projects. A varied sector mix, with the technical depth and complexity to keep things interesting for someone who wants more than a one-sector remit.
The Senior Architect role, day to day:
- Leading live projects across multiple RIBA stages, from concept and design through to delivery on site.
- Holding senior client relationships and representing the practice on live jobs.
- Producing and reviewing design and technical packages, with strong oversight of quality.
- Coordinating with contractors and consultants across live schemes.
- Mentoring project architects and junior team members.
- Contributing to bids, fee proposals, and the wider growth of the studio.
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.
