ARB Architect (High rise Buildings) - #2103870

We are seeking a talented, RIBA/ARB-registered Architect with a proven track record in high-rise developments to join our dynamic design team. In this role, you will lead or play a key architectural role in delivering complex, large-scale tall buildings from early concept stages through to technical design and construction delivery.

The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of UK building regulations, structural and façade engineering constraints specific to high-rise structures, and the creative vision to deliver landmark architectural statements.

• Design & Delivery: Lead the architectural design and technical delivery of high-rise commercial, residential, or mixed-use projects (typically 20+ stories).

• Compliance & Regulation: Ensure all designs comply with UK Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act (including Gateway regimes), London Plan policies (if applicable), and local planning frameworks.

• Technical Expertise: Develop detailed technical packages, façade detailing, and core configurations (lifts, escape stairs, MEP integration) specific to tall building typologies.

• BIM Coordination: Utilize Revit/BIM software to author, coordinate, and review complex 3D models alongside internal teams and external consultants.

• Client & Stakeholder Management: Act as a primary point of contact for clients, planning authorities, contractors, and specialist consultants (e.g., wind, fire safety, structural).

• Site Support: Provide architectural oversight during the construction phase, reviewing submittals, responding to RFIs, and conducting site visits to ensure design intent is maintained.

• Professional Registration: Must be an ARB-registered Architect (RIBA chartered status is highly desirable).

• Project Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) explicitly working on high-rise or high-density projects in the UK.

• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Building Safety Act, fire safety regulations (Part B), acoustics, and high-performance façade systems.

• Software Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in Revit and working within a BIM Level 2 environment is essential. Experience with Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite, or NBS Chorus is a strong plus.

• Communication: Exceptional communication, presentation, and collaborative skills to guide multidisciplinary teams./
