Our client is looking to recruit a motivated Technical Architect or Technologist to join their Manchester team for the architectural design of industrial projects within a multi-disciplinary environment. This particular contract will involve a large-scale manufacturing facility in the Northwest.

Their collaborative culture means you’ll be working alongside Architects, Technologists, Interior Designers, Engineers and Process Specialists – all focused on solving complex design challenges. People are at the heart of their success, and mentoring, training and supporting staff are central to their ethos.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver building and facility designs for industrial processes from concept to completion (with emphasis on RIBA Stages 2-4).
• Work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team, ensuring design co-ordination, clash detection, and model management.
• Engage with stakeholders through strong interpersonal, drawing and modelling skills.
• Develop specifications, materials selections and detailed design solutions, using NBS software.
• Use Revit proficiently (BIM Level 2), along with advanced collaboration software such as Navisworks for model checking and clash/interface management.
• Apply strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage workloads under pressure and to tight deadlines.
• Adopt a flexible and positive approach, bringing a proactive and collaborative mindset to the team.

What Our Client is Looking For:

• ARB registered Architect or Chartered Member of CIAT.
• Demonstrable experience across large-scale and industrial projects.
• Good knowledge of UK Building Regulations.
• Strong Revit and BIM expertise.
• Ability to obtain SC clearance (or already holding clearance is desirable).

What Our Client Offers:

• Long-term contract until July 2026.
• Hybrid working arrangement.
• Opportunities to work on exciting, high-profile industrial projects.
• Travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses when attending site or other offices.
• A supportive, inclusive and collaborative working environment.

Eligibility:

This role requires Security Clearance (SC) prior to commencement. Candidates must have proof of at least 5 years’ residency in the UK.

Opportunity for Growth:

This is a chance to work within one of the UK’s leading multi-disciplinary practices, on projects that shape the future of industrial design. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of key aspects of project delivery, collaborate across disciplines, and build a strong career profile within a dynamic environment.
