The ideal candidate will have a strong working knowledge of Microstation and ideally, Revit.

The successful candidate will be involved in several projects, concentrating on exciting community-focused projects and engagement-led neighbourhood strategies for local areas around London.
The position requires the following essential experience:
- Graduate Part II / Experienced Part II
- Have a solid understanding of Microstation.
- Have worked in a similar role at a design-led architecture practice.
- The ability to contribute to design packages.
- The ability to author reports and other written documents.

- Have client facing experience.
- Have worked on a broad range of project, particularly from RIBA stage 3-4 onwards.
- An understanding of BIM standards and processes.
- Ideally have some knowledge of Dynamo or other visual programming languages.
- Have experience of working with, and presenting to, multiple stakeholder clients.
- Have Photoshop InDesign and Illustrator proficiency.

Freehaus is an award-winning RIBA Chartered practice based in London and Oxfordshire. We seek to demonstrate the positive impact good design can have; not only on the way we live but also on the way we interact with each other and the world around us. With a background in architecture we also have specialisms in sustainability, heritage and community-led design, we work at all scales and across a breadth of sectors.
Founded by Tom Bell and Jonathan Hagos, Freehaus is a diverse yet like-minded studio of architects who make accessible, honest and representative buildings. The places Freehaus designs are anchored to their location, and authentic to both their people and context. The practice’s buildings are made to last: they are clearly configured, and in turn reconfigurable, to extend their social, environmental and heritage value. They are put together with care and economy, and refined through detail and craft.
The Freehaus studio is a safe place to play, where everyone has agency and responsibility is shared. The team are bound by mutual warmth, respect and curiosity and, as a ‘free haus’, their minds – and studio walls – are open, liberating them to specialise and evolve.
