Studio Bark is Hiring!
We are seeking an experienced architect with delivery and contract administration experience. We will also consider applicants who haven’t got the RIBA Part 3 qualification but do have 5+ years of experience in practice.
We are a young, dynamic and highly-motivated practice focussing on environmental design and construction. We are signatories to Architects Declare and RIBA 2030 Challenge. Studio members are also involved in the Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN) and tackling the climate and ecological crisis is top of our agenda.
Our workload ranges from small scale extensions and bespoke homes to creative industries and community-led housing. We are involved in education, live-build projects and research. Our sister company U-Build evolved out of previous research and development focussing on self-build modular construction for the circular economy.
We have a number of significant projects coming to site in the near future with exciting opportunities for a new team member to play a significant role in delivering these.
The Candidate
We are seeking an experienced, technically-astute individual who is capable of working in a proactive and self-managed way. The successful candidate will be diligent and highly organised with a strong ability to manage their time effectively.
