Recruitment: Part 1 Architectural Assistant

HTA Design is an award winning interdisciplinary design partnership of specialist teams working collaboratively in Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, Communications Design, Sustainability and Planning.

Our busy architectural design studios in London, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Manchester are looking for newly graduated, talented, and ambitious Part 1 Architectural Assistants to join us on a permanent basis. You will work within our interdisciplinary teams on one or more of our medium-to-large-scale housing and mixed-use regeneration projects in the UK.

We have exciting new schemes for a range of key clients, including high-density urban housing, sustainable lower-density developments, and estate regeneration projects. Working as part of a team, you will gain hands-on experience on pre- and post-planning stage projects. As this is a permanent role, we are looking for individuals who want to establish their careers with us, with opportunities for long-term progression as you work towards qualifying as an Architect.

‍

The successful candidates will be Part I qualified or equivalent and have:

• RIBA Part 1 qualification in Architecture (or international equivalent).
• A keen interest in housing design and regeneration.
• Good design, technical, and presentation skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and collaborative skills.

• Experience (or familiarity) with design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), Lumion, or Affinity.
• Model-making proficiency (manual or digital techniques) is highly desirable.
• Strong IT literacy (MS Office 365).
• Prior UK-based architectural work experience is desirable, but not essential. We welcome fresh graduates with a passion for learning.
