Architectural Technologist required
Stanhope Gate Architecture Ltd
Stanhope Gate Architecture is an architectural practice based in St James’s, London. We provide high quality architectural services for private and commercial clients across a number of sectors, with a particular focus on residential and hospitality. We are looking to expand our team working on several exceptional, high-quality residential and hospitality developments in the UK and overseas and seek an Architectural Technologist with CIAT accredited qualifications. Candidates must be CIAT qualified with a minimum of five year’s post-qualification experience.
The successful candidate will be fully engaged in most aspects of the project as part of a team, gaining valuable experience across all project stages, with a focus on RIBA Stages 4 and 5, including design development and technical design, coordination with consultant team, preparation of Building Regulations documentation, tender information and construction documentation (NBS and drawings), review of shop drawings, and site inspections.
Essential skills:
- Vectorworks or AutoCAD.
- Proven experience in detailed and technical design and the delivery of tender packages and construction documentation, including drawings and specifications (NBS preferred).
- Coordination of design with consultant team.
- Site experience.
- Possess a good working knowledge of the current UK Building Regulations and Approved Documents.
- Have a clear understanding of best practice detailing and specification of building materials, products and workmanship.
- Experience in residential and/or hospitality sectors.
- Excellent communication skills including written and spoken English.
Salary: Negotiable based on experience
Extra info: Our office is flexible and made up of a lot of all-rounders. It’s an international, dynamic office—about 75% of our projects are in London, and we are also concept architects for some overseas projects. We do not pigeon-hole people doing repetitive work.
The structure of the office is thus: one principal. three directors, three Associates, and the rest of the total 21 people are architects/job runners/Part 2’s. (Also, two admin staff). At any given time, we might have 12-15 projects, and these are spearheaded by the three Directors, so any given Director has 4-5 projects under their wing. Each project also has a job runner that is dedicated to the job and runs it day to day, from beginning of the project to the end. We do not have a conveyor belt of any sort, so that means one is truly aware of the issues from start to finish.
Regarding salary, it really depends on experience. The better the candidate, the higher the remuneration. There is no particular number we are hiring on. We look for strong stable candidates and prefer those who have not just jumped around tons. We work with Vectorworks in this office. But we certainly do not expect candidates to have used this. Most have come to us with AutoCAD background, but were able to transition very easily. We hope that the above helps paint a bigger picture.
Benefits:
- 21 days annual leave (increasing to 25 with length of service).
- Annual discretionary bonus scheme.
- Pension contribution to Company group scheme on pensionable earnings when eligible.
- Critical Illness insurance policy (upon successful completion of probationary period).
- BUPA CashBack policy (covers certain dental / optical to certain levels) (upon successful completion of probationary period).
- Life insurance after 2 years service.
