Technical Project Architectural Assistant

Role Description

We are looking for a talented and proactive architectural assistant to join our

growing team in London. The ideal candidate will have experience in the design

and delivery of buildings with good technical construction knowledge, and an

interest in working with existing buildings.

You will be working closely with senior team members and external consultants,

taking projects from early concept design through to construction and

completion, with opportunities to develop within the practice and take on

increasing responsibility.

We use Revit for modelling and drawing production; ideally, we are seeking

someone with good working knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

• Assistance to project architects in the design and technical delivery of

façade remediation projects, with input on wider new build schemes as

required: be part of PTA’s role as lead designer in leading and

managing the design team.

• Assisting the chairing and minuting meetings and workshops

• Application of good knowledge of UK Building Regulations, ensuring

compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

• Assistance to our role as Building Regulations Principal Designer.

• Engagement with clients, contractors and stakeholders effectively and

professionally.

Skills & Experience:

• Minimum three years of relevant experience – this might not be façade

remediation but working with existing buildings and directly with

contractors

• Experience in the technical design and delivery of UK construction

projects

• Good knowledge of UK Building Regulations and CDM duties.

• Good technical detailing ability

• Proficient in CAD, ideally also BIM (Revit)

• Confident communicator, capable of liaising with clients, consultants

and contractors.

• Highly organised, self-motivated, and comfortable managing multiple

projects.

• Able to work independently and manage projects and the team.

Salary

• We can offer a competitive salary, which will be commensurate on

experience of the candidate.

Flexible and remote working

• PTA standard working hours are 9.30am until 6pm, Monday to Friday.

However, we have a ‘core hours’ policy that enables flexibility around

this. We work efficiently and try to avoid overtime.

• Our experience is that our work is collaborative and team based, and

best carried out together, although remote working is offered on a case-

by-case basis.

• We would expect a probationary period (normally of 3 months) to be

based solely within our studio.

Interview procedure

• We have a two-stage interview process; commonly the first with project

or senior staff, and the second with directors.

• We may ask a candidate to carry out a short project related task or

Revit test.

Why Join Us?

• An opportunity to work on meaningful, safety-critical projects that

improve building performance.

• A friendly, supportive and collaborative studio culture.

• Ongoing CPD and professional development.

• Flexible hours with remote working options.

• A chance to grow with a studio that values design quality, technical

excellence, and social responsibility.
