Senior Project Architect | Colchester, Essex | £42,000–£55,000 | Hybrid
Ready to lead, not just deliver?
If you're a Project Architect standing at the edge of Senior and ready to jump, this one's worth a look. A well-established, growing practice in Colchester is handing over real ownership of projects — from first concept to final handover — to someone who wants to shape both the work and the team around them.
What makes this different
Variety is key! You'll move across residential, commercial, education and mixed-use schemes, working with a practice that's investing seriously in its people, its projects, and its next chapter of growth. This is a genuine step up, not a sideways shuffle!

Be the calm, confident voice in client and contractor negotiations
Coach and develop junior architects, helping shape the next generation of the team
Juggle timelines, budgets and multiple live projects without missing a beat
Bring concepts to life visually using Adobe Creative Suite
What you'll bring
ARB and RIBA qualification, with 5+ years' UK post-Part III experience
Confident across AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite
Solid grasp of planning processes, building regulations and technical construction detail
A track record of leading projects from concept to completion
