Hobden Butler is looking for a Part 2 architectural assistant or Part 3 architect to join its team in London.

We are looking for an experienced Part 2 architectural assistant with at least three years’ post-qualification experience – or a recently qualified Part 3 architect – on a 12-month contract in our Finsbury Circus studio. The role may be extended – depending on workload growth.

You will work across RIBA Stages one to four. That means feasibility proposals – concept documents – existing and proposed planning drawings – design and access statements – Stage three planning packages – and Stage four technical drawings and potentially in-house CGIs. There is background research – and you will help gather consultant quotes. You will also share general office administration – as everyone in a studio this size does.

What you need:

RIBA Part 2 with a minimum of three years’ post-qualification experience – or recently qualified Part 3 working within a UK-based architectural studio
AutoCAD and SketchUp – worked to a practice’s drawing standards
Adobe InDesign and Photoshop
experience across RIBA Stages one to four
direct experience of the English planning system – including drawings submitted to a local planning authority
written and spoken English to the standard the job requires: you will be writing design and access statements and corresponding with planning officers and clients
the right to work in the UK without visa sponsorship
able to work from our Finsbury Circus office three days a week with two from home

Useful – not essential:

Twinmotion to a standard where you can produce finished visuals without supervision. Is an advantage
using AI tools in your work. Tell us how you use them

The offer:

from £34,000 for a Part 2 – or from £36,000 for a recently qualified Part 3 – depending on experience
a 12-month contract – with potential to extend
09:00 to 17:30 – Monday to Friday with hybrid working
starting late October. If you are available sooner – say so – we can be flexible for the right person
