You will play a key role in leading design projects across a range of sectors — from strategic masterplans and regeneration schemes to detailed design and community-led initiatives.

  • Develop and present design proposals, drawings, reports, and presentations.
  • Ensure compliance with planning policy, design codes, and best practice standards.
  • Contribute to design strategy and innovation within the practice.
About You
  • Degree or postgraduate qualification in Urban Design, Architecture, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of professional experience with a strong focus on urban design.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and deliver high-quality outcomes.
  • Excellent design and graphic communication skills.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, Revit, and GIS (preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of UK planning policy, design guidance, and best practices.
  • Experience working on residential, mixed-use, regeneration, or town centre schemes.
  • A collaborative and proactive approach with confidence in client-facing settings.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonus
  • Flexible/hybrid working environment
  • Generous holiday allowance + extra days over Christmas
  • Supportive team culture and structured CPD
  • Opportunities to work on meaningful, high-impact projects
  • Clear path to Associate and leadership roles
