Why Join Us?
Maybe some of these sound familiar…
* You're tired of working on the same type of projects over and over, and you're craving variety—new-builds, conservation, and adaptive reuse.
* You'd love to pursue conservation accreditation, but don't want to be pigeon-holed into just one niche.
* You want to be part of a purpose-driven studio that cares about impact, not just output.
* You're currently in GB or ROI and thinking of moving back to NI—perhaps because of kids, wanting to be closer to family, or raising a family here - but only if it's for the right opportunity with real career growth.
* You like the idea of working in the Cathedral Quarter - right in the heart of Belfast's cultural and social scene.
* You're curious about perks that actually make a difference—like our EV salary sacrifice scheme that could put you in a brand-new electric car.
Or maybe it's just that you're ready for the next step: more responsibility, more creativity, and more say in the projects you work on.
If any of this resonates, we'd love to hear from you.
