Job Summary

Senior Architect Job London is an opportunity to join a growing architectural practice specialising in technically complex residential projects. This position focuses on cladding remediation, higher-risk buildings (HRBs) and the Building Safety Act gateway processes. The successful candidate will join a recently established London office during an important period of expansion. You will work on residential remediation projects, with particular involvement across RIBA Stages 3 to 5.

Strong technical knowledge and practical experience of cladding remediation and building safety requirements are essential. Proficiency in both Revit and AutoCAD is mandatory for this position. The practice requires someone who understands the complexities of existing buildings and regulatory compliance. You must demonstrate previous involvement in remediation projects and experience navigating the relevant gateway processes. This opportunity suits an experienced Architect looking to contribute directly to a developing London team. You will join an established wider practice with a growing pipeline of higher-risk residential building work.

About the Company

Our client is an established and growing architectural practice employing approximately 50 professionals across multiple UK offices. The company operates across residential, commercial, education, community and refurbishment projects, with an emphasis on technical delivery. The practice has developed experience in complex residential design, refurbishment and regulatory compliance.

Its growing workload includes higher-risk buildings and residential cladding remediation projects. The London team anticipates a significant increase in building safety and remediation commissions. This appointment will strengthen its technical capability and support the delivery of these specialist projects.

Role & Responsibilities

• Work on residential cladding remediation projects, supporting technical design and delivery through RIBA Stages 3 to 5
• Prepare and coordinate detailed architectural drawings and technical information using both Revit and AutoCAD
• Contribute practical knowledge of higher-risk buildings and the Building Safety Act gateway processes
• Support the preparation and coordination of architectural information required for relevant gateway submissions
• Review existing building conditions and develop appropriate architectural responses for residential cladding remediation projects
• Coordinate technical design information relating to building safety, external wall systems and regulatory compliance
• Work alongside the London architectural team to progress remediation projects through technical design and construction stages
• Apply previous hands-on remediation experience to resolve complex technical challenges on existing residential buildings

Skills & Experience Required

• ARB registered Architect with substantial post-qualification experience delivering technically complex residential architecture projects
• Proven hands-on experience working on cladding remediation schemes involving existing residential buildings and external wall systems
• Practical understanding of higher-risk buildings and the regulatory requirements introduced under the Building Safety Act
• Demonstrable experience navigating gateway processes and preparing or coordinating associated architectural documentation
• Strong working proficiency in both Revit and AutoCAD, with experience producing detailed technical architectural information

• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Volunteering days
• Flexible working culture (minimum 3 days in studio)

Who Is This Role Ideal For?

This position is particularly suitable for an experienced Senior Architect with a strong technical residential background. You will already have delivered cladding remediation projects and understand the challenges associated with existing buildings. Previous experience of higher-risk buildings and gateway processes is essential rather than simply desirable.

You should be confident producing technical architectural information using both Revit and AutoCAD. Experience across RIBA Stages 3 to 5 will be particularly relevant to the position. The practice needs an Architect who can contribute practical knowledge from previous remediation schemes. Candidates who enjoy working within smaller teams may find the developing London office appealing. This role offers involvement in a growing workload of technically demanding residential remediation projects.
