Rejen Architects is a design-focused architecture practice passionate about breathing new life into buildings and places. Our work spans hospitality, workplace, high-end residential, and healthcare sectors, and we specialise in heritage and regeneration.
Due to an expanding workload across Ireland and the UK, we are looking for a recently qualified architect to join our growing Belfast studio. This will be someone who is talented, focused, ambitious, curious, and ready to become a key part of the Rejen team as we design and deliver projects across Ireland and the UK.
What you’ll be doing
* Working on feasibility studies, concept design, planning applications, and design development packages.
* Producing high-quality drawings and visuals using freehand sketching, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Enscape, Lumion, and various emerging AI applications and workflows.
* Supporting heritage, conservation-led, and contemporary design projects through research, sensitive design, and construction detailing.
* Preparing high-quality tender and construction drawings and specifications.
* Performing the role of Project Architect as projects move from detailed design to on-site construction, contract administration, and delivery.
* Preparing client presentations and participating in design reviews and internal critiques.
* Visiting sites, conducting surveys and inspections, and coordinating and managing design teams.
* Participating in practice-wide continuous improvement, helping to refine and optimise workflows through emerging AI applications.
* Travelling to sites in NI, RI, and GB as required.
This is a new and growing practice environment where you’ll be mentored, stretched, trusted with responsibility, and exposed to real-world project delivery early.
Who we’re looking for
* ARB / RIBA or RIAI recently (or soon‑to‑be) registered architect with up to 3 years’ post‑Part 3 experience.
* Excellent design skills at both conceptual and technical levels.
* Passionate about contemporary design, adaptive reuse, heritage, and sustainable design (Passivhaus or similar an advantage).
* Strong freehand drawing skills and a high standard of proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp and emerging AI applications.
* Good technical awareness and interest in how building elements come together.
* Excellent communication, organisation, and presentation skills – visual, verbal and interpersonal.
* Ability to manage your own time and workload while supporting junior team members and contributing effectively to the wider team.
A full driving licence and access to transport will be required for occasional site work.
At Rejen, you will be joining an ambitious studio with a clear long‑term vision to become a leading practice in Ireland and the UK for breathing new life into old buildings and places.
You’ll benefit from:
* A competitive salary of £30,000–£35,000 per annum (commensurate with experience).
* 20 days’ annual leave + statutory holidays (increasing by 1 day per year of service up to 25 days).
* Hybrid / flexible working in tandem with dedicated studio time.
* Discretionary profit‑share bonus scheme (related to individual and practice performance).
* Excellent career progression potential as the practice grows.
* Financial and time support for continued professional development and training.
