Part II Architectural Assistant
Bespoke Careers (recruiter)
About the role
The role
An award-winning, net-zero carbon innovator in London is seeking a creative and technically-minded individual to join their studio at the forefront of the modular housing revolution.
This practice is not a traditional consultancy; they are a pioneering design-and-build developer specialising in high-quality, ultra-low-carbon residential and mixed-use projects. By utilising Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), they deliver precision-engineered homes on complex urban sites.
You will be joining an agile, multidisciplinary team where your designs move rapidly from the screen to the site. This is a rare opportunity for a Part II Architectural Assistant to gain deep expertise in sustainable technology and the "future of housing" while working toward their professional qualification.
Key responsibilities
- Support project teams across all RIBA stages, with a particular focus on feasibility, planning, and technical delivery.
- Develop high-quality Revit models and technical drawing packages optimised for off-site manufacturing.
- Collaborate with in-house engineers and construction specialists to ensure design-for-manufacture (DfMA) excellence.
- Produce compelling visualisations and presentation materials for local authorities and stakeholders.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of sustainable, low-energy housing prototypes.
What you'll bring
- Part II qualified with a portfolio that demonstrates both design thinking and technical rigour.
- A passionate interest in sustainable design, carbon reduction, and modular architecture.
- Proficiency in Revit is essential, alongside SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite.
- Experience (or a strong interest) in a design-and-build or MMC-focused environment.
- A proactive, "solutions-oriented" mindset with the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced studio.
What's on offer
- Future-Proof Skills: Gain specialised experience in the MMC sector, one of the fastest-growing areas of the industry.
- Part III Mentorship: A supportive environment with direct access to senior architects, perfect for those working toward qualification.
- Social Impact: Contribute to projects that provide high-quality, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions.
- Agile Culture: A modern, collaborative office environment with hybrid working and a strong focus on professional development.
- Competitive Package: Salary commensurate with experience and a clear path for career progression.
