Company Profile
Established RIBA award-winning eco-construction company, Bow Tie Construction, seeks a talented Architectural Technologist / Technician. We work in the residential market, with project values ranging from £ 600 K to £ 4 M.
With projects on Grand Designs, Old House New Home, and Don’t Move, Improve!, the successful architectural technician will work for London’s premium Passivhaus construction company, which punches well above its weight. Rather than being one of many, a huge workforce undertaking routine tasks, the candidate would have ownership of 3d deliverables and the satisfaction of nurturing a small number of projects from inception to completion, thus developing their skills in 3d construction design.
