Senior Architect | Design-led practice | £50,000 - £55,000
Are you working in a large studio and feeling overlooked? Love a studio that focuses on architecture for good? Social Impact and sustainability! Would you love to run high-quality, interesting, design-led projects? Still love rolling up your sleeves and being an architect, not just a manager?
We have an exciting opportunity to join a small/medium sized, profitable, design-led practice with a real focus on doing architecture for greater good. Every project contributes to the betterment of the built environment and wider society.
Overview
We are seeking a Senior Architect (approximately 8–12 years post‑Part III) to take a hands‑on leadership role designing and delivering interesting design‑led projects across education, cultural, heritage, and specialist sectors. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys running projects, leading small teams, and remaining actively involved in drawing and design.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Opportunity
- Genuine opportunity for autonomy, client interaction and ability to work on highly interesting projects
- Clients that are a pleasure to work with
- Genuine opportunity to progress to leadership
Skills & Experience
- 8+ years post‑Part III experience
- Strong Revit capability (or at minimum, proven BIM experience and willingness to upskill quickly)
- Experience working with large client bodies or complex consultant teams would be an advantage
- Genuine interest in sustainability, embedded as part of design thinking
- Exposure to sectors such as education, cultural, heritage, life sciences, or large commercial projects
- Comfortable with autonomy and ownership: ideal for someone who felt “lost in the process” at a larger studio and wants more impact
