Architect, CAD​/ AutoCAD​/ Mechanical Design

Location: Cambridgeshire

Architect (Newly Qualified) – Cambridge | Salary £32,000-£35,000

If you’ve just qualified (or you’re a couple of years in) and you want a role where you’ll build proper delivery experience, work across more than one sector, and be backed by a team that’ll help you progress - this is a strong move.

This is a Cambridge-based, RIBA Chartered practice (circa 20 people) delivering projects from £500k to £30m across leisure, education, industrial/logistics and residential. Big schemes for a team this size, so you won’t be waiting years to see something substantial.

The day-to-day
 
Taking packages from concept through to planning and technical delivery, depending on the project stage
Producing and coordinating drawing information in AutoCAD and Revit/BIM
Working with consultants to resolve design and technical issues quickly
Joining client meetings and helping push decisions forward
Building confidence across multiple RIBA stages - not just one slice of the process  Why this is a good step
 
You’ll get variety: different sectors, different teams, different project challenges
You’ll be close to senior staff, so you’ll learn faster and get feedback that actually helps
You’ll work on larger-value projects than most studios of this size can offer
You’ll join a sociable office with regular team events and charity days  You’ll suit this if you’ve got…
 
ARB registration (or you’re very close) and up to 2 years post-qual experience
UK practice experience and confidence producing technical drawing info
AutoCAD experience (Revit/BIM is a big plus)
A practical mindset - you like solving problems and keeping things moving
A full UK driving licence is helpful, not essential  Next step
