We are currently looking for experienced and talented architects/designers to join our London office where, together with 150-plus other BIGsters, you will be responsible for the delivery of projects of varying scale and typology in the UK and Middle East. You will work closely with a vibrant, multidisciplinary team of architectural, urban design and landscape professionals.

• ability to prepare, develop and edit drawings and models as they relate to the project
• experience using Rhino, Revit, AutoCAD, Vray and Adobe Suite
• experience leading on 3D coordination, interoperability and other BIM-specific workflows
• appetite to create positive BIM environments within your project teams
• strong organisational skills, with the ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
• the ability to be proactive, self-motivated and able to take initiative in response to direction from managers
• great interpersonal and communication skills
• a flexible and open attitude towards new ways of working

Required skills and experience:
• professional qualification as an architect or an equivalent overseas qualification
• three to seven years post qualification experience as an architect/designer
• three to five years of professional work experience using Revit as your core
• BIM tool and having conquered editing a wide range of families
• proficiency with Rhino
• knowledge of industry BIM standards and requirements; experience as a BIM lead would be advantageous
• excellent communication skills and fluency in English – spoken and written
• experience with masterplans is a plus

This job description reflects the core activities of the role, although there will be changes in the emphasis of duties as required from time to time. There is a requirement for the post holder to recognise this and adopt a flexible approach to work.
