• The ability to take full ownership of tasks, manage time well and present ideas to colleagues and clients
• Openness to feedback, comfort in a fast-changing studio and the ambition to grow with the practice

Rhino or Revit skills, line management experience, experience of working with remote teams and additional languages are all a plus.

The post is based at 3 Murphy Street, London SE1 7FP, working 40 hours a week from Monday to Friday. Benefits include 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays, one discretionary work from home day a week and a “digital fortnight” of up to two weeks of remote working a year.
