Architect

ADP is looking to recruit talented and highly motivated Architects to join its UK studios – London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Oxford.

About ADP

With studios across the UK, Cyprus and India, and over 60 years’ history, ADP is an AJ100 top 40 architecture practice which designs around the principles of sustainability, belonging and engagement, rethinking the built environment to create a better future.

We work on projects that truly benefit their communities, from large laboratory buildings to mixed-use developments, sensitive refurbishments to envelope-pushing new builds, £100m high-profile schemes to local grassroots projects. We have cross-practice specialists in sectors including residential, commercial, healthcare and education design.

ADP is an employee-owned practice – meaning that all staff have a say in how the business is run, and everyone benefits from its success. We know that a healthy work/life balance is important and in addition to other competitive benefits, all staff have the option for hybrid working, flexible working, and compressed hours – allowing you to take a three-day weekend every fortnight.

We’re an equal opportunities employer and a gold-standard investor in people – reflecting our belief that it takes a people-centred practice to create people-centred architecture. Diversity is at the heart of our success, and we welcome applications from underrepresented groups.

The Role

Successful candidates will have experience with a variety of software: a sound and practical understanding of Autodesk Revit is desirable. You will also need a keen interest in taking projects from inception to completion, and experience of leading a design team is preferred. With the potential for career progression, the positions would suit ambitious individuals who are willing to work with other ADP studios.

We are looking to recruit an individual with strong concept and presentation skills, as well as technical and detailing ability. You should also have excellent organisational and communication skills, and be self-motivated. We would also be interested in hearing from any candidates with experience in heritage projects.

Responsibilities

• Producing strong effective designs with appropriate competent technical solutions that align with our vision.
• Taking responsibility for the production, coordination and integrity of project specific information.
