Recruit Build is working with a successful architectural and construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Part 2 Architectural Assistant to its Huddersfield team.

This is not a graduate-level position. Candidates must be RIBA Part 2 qualified and have at least four to five years’ practical experience working within an architectural practice or construction consultancy.

You will join an established team of more than 20 architectural professionals, working on new-build housing, major refurbishment, regeneration and high-rise residential schemes across the UK.

The position offers a similar level of responsibility to an Architectural Technologist role, alongside structured support towards completing Part 3.

The Opportunity

You will work across a range of RIBA stages, contributing to projects from planning and technical design through to construction and completion.

Your role will include:

• Producing design drawings, technical information and presentation material
• Developing planning and Building Regulations packages
• Producing and coordinating drawings or models using Revit or AutoCAD
• Working closely with Architects, Architectural Technologists and external consultants
• Attending design reviews and project meetings
• Supporting site inspections, surveys and construction-stage reviews
• Resolving technical, design and coordination issues
• Managing your own workload and contributing to project deadlines
• Developing your knowledge of residential refurbishment, regeneration and high-rise projects

What We’re Looking For

To be considered, you must have:

• RIBA Part 2 qualification
• At least four to five years’ practical experience within an architectural practice or construction consultancy
• Experience contributing to live projects through the technical and delivery stages
• Good construction knowledge and technical detailing ability
• Experience using either Revit or AutoCAD
• A strong architectural portfolio
• Good communication and organisational skills
• The confidence to manage your workload and work with limited supervision

Previous experience working on high-rise residential projects would be preferable.

Experience with SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, BIM processes and common data environments would also be beneficial.

Support Towards Part 3

This role would particularly suit an experienced Part 2 Architectural Assistant who has developed strong practical and technical skills but has not yet completed Part 3.

You will receive structured mentoring, relevant project experience and support towards professional qualification. Training, examination costs and relevant professional subscription fees can also be funded.

Why Join?

• Salary up to £40,000
• Hybrid working
• Option to work a nine-day fortnight
• Up to 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Company bonus scheme
• Contributory pension
• Life assurance at four times salary
• Regular salary and performance reviews
• Fully funded training and in-house CPD
• Payment of professional subscriptions and examination fees
• Structured mentoring and support towards Part 3
• Company-funded social and team-building events
• Clear opportunities for long-term career progression
