About Populous
For more than 40 years Populous has had a singular focus – to draw people together around the things that they love, to be the leading design firm that specialises in places, spaces and events where people gather. Our success is defined by designing projects that are seen as the benchmark. We are committed to future innovation, anticipating and shaping the future of our industries.
Our team is made up of highly talented people with a range of skills, all integral to successfully bringing to life the places and experiences we design. As our company has grown, our expertise has expanded to encompass a wide variety of disciplines – including architecture, audiovisual consultancy, brand activation, design & build, events, food & beverage strategy, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design and wayfinding.
This varied expertise enables us to transform neighbourhoods, revitalise cities, build relationships and create buildings, places and spaces that draw people together, from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to The Co-op Live Arena [https://emperia.digital/getty/populous/index.html].
As we continue to bring to life award-winning venues and experiences, our EMEA Practice is looking for a Technical Concierge based in our Putney studio.
About the Role
This is a people-first role at the heart of our studio. As Technical Concierge, you will help shape the everyday experience of the workplace—creating an environment where colleagues and visitors feel welcomed, supported and at ease.
You’ll be a familiar and trusted presence, someone people naturally turn to for help, reassurance and guidance. Whether you’re preparing a space for an important client meeting or helping a colleague get set up for a presentation, your focus is on making everything feel calm, seamless and well-considered.
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.

- Build positive relationships across the studio, getting to know teams and how they work
- Work closely with Admin and IT colleagues to deliver a joined-up, supportive workplace experience
