If you thrive on solving complex technical details, love working in a collaborative BIM environment, and want to see your work directly benefit local communities, we want to hear from you.

• Coordination: Manage spatial and technical coordination with structural engineers, MEP consultants, and main contractors, proactively conducting clash detection.

• Compliance & Regulations: Ensure all designs comply thoroughly with UK Building Regulations, Department for Education (DfE) output specifications, BB103/BB104 guidelines, and local authority requirements.

• Site Support: Attend site meetings, respond to contractor RFIs (Requests for Information), review specialist subcontractor drawings, and conduct site inspections to ensure construction matches design intent.

• Qualifications: A degree in Architectural Technology (CIAT accredited preferred) or a relevant technical equivalent.

• Software Expertise: Professional, demonstratable proficiency in Autodesk Revit is mandatory. You should be comfortable building complex families, managing templates, and working in shared central models.

• Sector Experience: A proven track record of working on UK education (schools, academies, higher education) or public sector/civic projects.

• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of standard UK building construction methods, modern methods of construction (MMC), and sustainable fabric-first design.

• Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to confidently interface with school governors, local authority stakeholders, and construction teams.

• MCIAT status (or actively working towards chartership).

• Experience using NBS Chorus for writing technical specifications.

• Familiarity with visual coordination tools like Navisworks or Enscape.
