Careers

Experienced Part 2 Architectural Assistant or Technical Architect

Thomas Robinson Architects are recruiting for an experienced Part 2 Architectural Assistant or Technical Architect to join our busy team here.

The role involves supporting project architects at Stage 4 predominantly but may also include Stages 1-3 of projects.

If you’d like to be involved in a key technical role within a team delivering a diverse selection of projects encompassing conservation, Passivhaus, and EnerPhit principles as well as mainstream new build construction, this role could be for you.

The projects we are commissioned to deliver are diverse and technically interesting and delivered within clear operational processes. Projects range from a new build library through high end residences and listed buildings. Projects are bespoke and the scale of projects does not involve repetitive construction packages, which means that the role is fulfilling and requires a continual learning and problem-solving approach. Your role will also be key to the development of the practice as one of the few practices in Scotland with an increasingly large share of high-end residences, new build and listed. The role may include travel to all parts of Scotland.

Why Thomas Robinson Architects?

We believe that our people are our biggest asset. Each person has a vital role to play in the role of the business of delivering outstanding projects for our clients. We communicate together openly and regularly and support each other at all stages of project lifecycles so the office environment is open, friendly and collaborative. Acts of leadership are recognised and continual learning and personal development is supported and encouraged. Your role will make a direct impact on the way people ultimately inhabit their new buildings and also to how they enjoy the process of commissioning an architect.
