Project Architect
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Project Architect to join a design-led and growing architectural practice based in Sheffield. Known for delivering an outstanding and diverse portfolio, the studio works across bespoke high-end residential projects, complex refurbishments, and an expanding commercial sector.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an Architect who is ready to take ownership of projects and play a meaningful role within a close-knit, ambitious team. The role offers a level of autonomy and responsibility that is often hard to find in larger practices, making it ideal for someone on the cusp or ambition into stepping into a Senior Architect position.
The Practice
The studio is a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, specialising in unlocking challenging sites and delivering thoughtful, well-resolved design solutions. Their work spans bespoke private homes, sensitive renovations, and increasingly, commercial and industrial schemes including logistics, manufacturing, and re-cladding projects in line with the Building Safety Act.
They foster a dynamic and vibrant supportive culture, with a strong emphasis on flexibility, agile working, and empowering individuals to make a genuine impact on projects and the wider business.
The Role
As a Project Architect, you will take responsibility for leading projects through key stages, working closely with clients, consultants, and the internal team to deliver high-quality, technically robust schemes.
You will have the opportunity to work across a varied portfolio, from high-end one-off homes to complex commercial and retrofit developments, often involving sensitive sites or existing buildings.

Manage day-to-day project delivery, including programme, coordination, and client liaison
