Position Details

Due to an increase in workload and several exciting new projects we are looking to expand our excellent Glasgow based team.

We are seeking an Experienced Project Runner / Architect or a recently qualified architect with ambition and good job running experience.

We are also seeking an Experienced Part 2 Architectural Assistant.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of your own projects from inception to completion, mostly within the £2 – £4m value range.

We are a mid-sized practice currently numbering 24, and we are located in a recently remodelled high quality design studio in Glasgow City Centre, with excellent staff facilities. We work across the UK with a bias towards the West of Scotland and the Islands.

We are still small enough to feel that we are a family. Our staff turnover is very low which has seen us grow organically from 4 to 24 in 9 years. Most of our recruitment has been by staff introducing former colleagues for interview. We feel that this underscores one of our key businesses aims: To be an ethical employer where people enjoy what they do within a supportive office environment and achieving a good work/life balance.

We currently offer:

•         Above industry average salaries and we look forward to an open discussion on what is currently “average”.

•         The position would be office based with occasional flexibility to work from home. We provide all staff with a personal lap-top to facilitate flexible working. Standard hours are 9.00 – 5.30pm but we seek to accommodate individual needs with regard to childcare and travel.

•         We operate an optional shortened weekly lunch and finish at 2.30pm on a Friday, which has proved to be very popular with our team.

•         The opportunity to work on a variety of interesting projects. We provide design services on circa 140 live projects per year with a healthy mixed bag of Industrial + Commercial, Hotel & Leisure, Elderly Care, Flatted Residential Developments, Retirement Living, Student Living, Listed building conversions and one-off private houses & domestic extensions.

We predominantly use AutoCad however we have several Revit projects and experience of both would be useful. We can offer Revit training in-house.

Examples of some of our projects can be viewed on our web site at www.cpsarchitects.co.uk
