Project Architect or Architectural Technologist – Retail Fit Out

A well‑established architectural practice in Melton Mowbray is looking for a talented Architectural Technologist or Architect to join their growing team. Known for delivering high‑quality, detail‑driven projects across the retail, fit‑out and refurbishment sectors, the studio works with major brands and national clients to transform existing spaces into efficient, contemporary environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, delivery‑focused setting and enjoys seeing projects move quickly from concept to completion. If you have experience in retail fit‑out or refurbishment — or you’re eager to step into a sector where no two projects are the same — this role will suit you perfectly.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for running projects from early technical stages through to completion, coordinating with clients, contractors and consultants to deliver efficient, buildable solutions. The work is varied, fast‑moving and hands‑on, with a strong emphasis on technical accuracy, problem‑solving and clear communication.

You’ll be joining a friendly, collaborative team that values initiative, reliability and a practical approach to design. With the practice continuing to grow, there’s plenty of scope to develop your role and take on more responsibility over time.

Ideally, retail fit‑out or refurbishment experience

Strong technical knowledge and confidence delivering projects at pace

Proficiency in Revit (highly desirable)

Why Join?

Work on fast‑paced, varied retail and refurbishment projects
