If you would like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Sophie Randle at RGB Recruitment ASAP!
Opportunity with a newly established architectural practice based in Somerset, who are looking to bring in an experienced Architect to join them at an exciting early stage of growth.
This is a rare opportunity to join a practice at the beginning of its journey, with a strong pipeline of secured work already in place and clear plans for expansion. They are looking for someone who wants more than just a standard role…someone who is keen to play a key part in shaping the direction, design approach and overall growth of the business.
The position would suit an Architect with 5+ years post-qualification experience, who is confident across both design and delivery. The initial focus will be on residential developments, with scope to branch into other sectors over time, particularly if you have your own areas of interest or client relationships.
There is clear scope for progression into a senior leadership position, with the potential for the right individual to buy into the business over time and become part of its long-term success. This could include future opportunities around equity, profit share and stepping into a director level role as the practice grows. xsngvjr
