Job Description
About Us
Guy Taylor Associates is a small, award-winning architectural practice with a long history, established in 1969.
We’ve built our reputation on thoughtful, well-crafted architecture and long-term relationships with our clients. Our work is varied, but often centres on bespoke projects, including heritage and listed buildings, where careful design, technical understanding, and attention to detail really matter.
As a studio, we’re collaborative and supportive. We work closely as a team, sharing ideas openly and backing each other’s projects, while still giving individuals the space to take real ownership and shape outcomes.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Architect to join our team — someone who enjoys being properly involved in projects and is looking for a greater level of ownership.
This role would suit someone currently in a larger practice who wants to step into a more engaged, design-led environment, with the opportunity to take the lead on projects and see them through from concept to completion.
You’ll be involved across all RIBA stages, with a particular focus on technical design, detailing, and delivery on site, while having the opportunity to take real creative control within a supportive studio setting.
What You’ll Be Doing
\t•\tTaking a lead role on projects, particularly through technical and construction stages
\t•\tProducing clear, well-considered technical drawings and details
\t•\tDeveloping designs from early concept through to completion
\t•\tWorking closely with clients, consultants, and contractors
\t•\tContributing to design development across a range of bespoke projects
\t•\tBeing involved in heritage and listed building work
\t•\tSupporting and engaging with team members within a collaborative studio
What We’re Looking For
\t•\tA qualified Architect (ARB registered or equivalent)
\t•\tSolid experience in UK architectural practice
\t•\tStrong technical knowledge and detailing ability
\t•\tExperience running projects or taking significant responsibility within a team
\t•\tAn interest in, or experience with, heritage and conservation work
\t•\tSomeone who enjoys working collaboratively in a small, supportive team
\t•\tA proactive approach and the confidence to take ownership of projects
Why Join Us
\t•\tReal ownership and involvement across your projects
\t•\tOpportunity to take creative control within a supportive team environment
\t•\tWork on bespoke, often sensitive schemes where your input genuinely matters
\t•\tBe part of a small, collaborative studio rather than a layered structure
\t•\tOpportunity to grow within a long-established and respected practice
Salary
£36,000 – £48,000 depending on experience, with scope for progression as responsibility grows
