Join Foster + Partners
At Foster + Partners, we don’t just design buildings — we shape skylines, communities, and global futures. As one of the world’s most respected design consultancies, our 1,500-strong team is behind some of the most iconic and challenging architectural projects around the globe. From our landmark London studio — and through our international offices — we lead with creativity, precision, and purpose.
We’re now looking for a Design Resource Planner to join our dynamic Planning & Resource team, a key part of the firm’s Management Group. In this role, you’ll work closely with Studio Partners, Designers, Commercial Managers, and other internal stakeholders to forecast and plan design resources across a diverse and fast-moving global project portfolio.
This role is ideal for someone with direct experience in resource planning within a design or construction environment, or someone with an architectural degree and a strong understanding of the design process who is eager to step into a planning and management role. Full training and mentoring will be provided for candidates from an architectural background.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Lead the preparation of design resource forecasts to support fee proposals and project planning.
* Act as a key liaison for Studio Senior Partners and global teams, building trusted relationships across the business.
* Develop and maintain design programmes from early-stage proposals through to delivery.
* Contribute to internal improvements in planning systems and processes, and support broader strategic initiatives.
* Mentor junior team members and lead by example, promoting Foster + Partners’ collaborative culture.
What We’re Looking For:
* Experience in resource forecasting and planning within the construction or design industry
* OR a degree in architecture with a solid understanding of how design projects are delivered across all stages.
* Familiarity with the design and construction process, including procurement and commercial bid preparation.
* Ability to build strong working relationships and manage competing priorities with calm professionalism.
* Proficiency in relevant planning tools (Powerproject, Excel, Deltek, Dynamics).
You’ll Thrive Here If You:
* Have strong analytical and communication skills
* Are methodical, detail-driven, and organised
* Bring a proactive mindset and a willingness to learn
* Enjoy collaborating across disciplines in a high-performing, design-led environment
Location
Based in our London studio, with the opportunity to work closely with international teams.
