Architect

Senior Architect – Residential & Commercial Projects
Location: Near Maidenhead
Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 (DOE), up to £70,000 for the right candidate
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

We're working with a design-led architecture and construction practice near Maidenhead that's looking to appoint a Senior Architect to take ownership of residential and commercial schemes from concept to completion.

With project values typically between £100k and £3m, the role offers full involvement across the design and delivery lifecycle. You'll be working closely with a highly experienced Part 3 architect (30+ years in practice), leading junior team members and playing a key role in shaping how projects are delivered on the ground.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on project ownership and is confident running schemes through planning, technical design and construction. It may suit an architect currently travelling into London who's looking for a more rewarding local role with less commuting, more autonomy, and real influence.

Onsite presence is important – the role involves mentoring junior staff and working closely with the in-house construction team, so regular team engagement is essential.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading residential and commercial projects through RIBA Stages 3-5

Preparing and managing planning applications and consultant coordination

Producing and overseeing technical design packages and working drawings

Taking full ownership of projects from initial brief to site completion

Supporting and mentoring Part 1 and Part 2 team members

Working closely with a senior Part 3 to ensure design quality and delivery standards

Requirements:

ARB-registered Architect (RIBA Part 3)

Minimum 8-10 years of UK experience

Proven delivery of residential flats or mixed-use projects

Strong knowledge of Building Regulations and planning policy

Proficient in AutoCAD (Revit a bonus)

Based within a realistic commute of Maidenhead – onsite presence required

Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 depending on experience. Up to £70,000 available for an exceptional candidate.
