• Strong knowledge of Revit / BIM, including modelling and BIM strategy
• Extensive construction knowledge with the ability to produce construction and detailed working drawings efficiently
• Collaborative, proactive, and enthusiastic mindset
• Experience on accommodation-based projects up to £10M is advantageous

Why This Role Is Special:

• Join the company at a pivotal time of growth, helping to build and shape an internal design team
• Take ownership of projects from concept to completion
• Mentor and develop junior staff, influencing the next generation of architectural talent
• Work on exciting, high-quality care developments with a company committed to innovation

• Competitive salary up to £55,000 + car allowance + benefits
• Birthday day off + 26 days holiday
• Hybrid working with flexible arrangements
• Free on-site parking
• Healthcare scheme and wellbeing support
• Career development opportunities in a fast-growing, forward-thinking company

This is not just another job—it’s a chance to join a dynamic, innovative business and make your mark on the UK’s care and retirement living landscape.
