Senior Architect

Your new company
Hays are working with a small, design-focused practice delivering bespoke residential and commercial projects across the North West. In what will be a key hire for the business, they're looking to appoint a Senior Architect who can take ownership of projects, manage client relationships and support the next stage of growth.
The role offers a high degree of autonomy, direct client exposure and a clear route towards Associate level over time. You'll work across a varied portfolio of high-end residential projects, including extensions, remodels and full property transformations, alongside a growing volume of commercial and developer-led schemes.
Whilst residential projects continue to form a significant proportion of the workload, the practice is looking to grow its commercial portfolio over the coming years and sees this appointment as a key part of that strategy.

What you'll get in return
This is a unique opportunity for an Architect who enjoys autonomy, wants greater influence over project delivery, and is interested in progression towards an Associate level position as the business continues to expand.

Salary in the region of £55,000 - £65,000 DOE
