Architectural Technologist
West Midlands | £45,000 to £50,000
Job Reference: 16407
We have an excellent opportunity for an experienced Architectural Technologist to join a regional technical team as Technical Coordinator, based in Birmingham.
This role requires the ability to produce drawings for houses and apartments using AutoCAD. While creating full building drawings from scratch will be required occasionally, the primary drawing responsibilities will focus on developing construction details and updating existing working-drawing packs.
A significant part of the role involves managing external consultants. This includes reviewing their work, checking and approving ancillary designs such as stair layouts, joist designs, roof truss packages, heating layouts, and plumbing systems.
The successful candidate will act as the main technical point of contact for multiple sites, providing support to the commercial, build, and sales teams. This support will continue from design-team handover through the working-drawing production phase, the discharge of NHBC conditions, plot completions on site, and any technical aftercare required by customer care.
Applicants should have demonstrable housebuilding experience, including appointing and managing architects to deliver superstructure information. They must also be capable of producing building drawings and construction details in CAD. In addition, applicants should have experience managing key technical processes, including securing SAP calculations, completing Part O assessments, discharging NHBC conditions, and checking working drawings and ancillary design packages for compliance with NHBC technical standards and Building Regulations.
Flexible working is supported where possible, alongside a strong emphasis on in-person collaboration and team culture.
What’s on offer
Competitive salary up to £50k and annual bonus
Company car, car allowance or travel allowance
Generous annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays
Private medical insurance (employee paid)
Enhanced family-friendly policies
Pension scheme, life assurance and share schemes

What we’re looking for
HND (or equivalent) in Architectural Technology / Building Studies, or equivalent.
Experience in a similar role within residential development or housebuilding
Strong understanding of design, approvals and regulations
Proficiency in AutoCAD
Excellent attention to detail, organisation and communication skills
Confidence leading early-stage site meetings and reporting technical issues to the wider business
This is a varied, hands-on role offering exposure to the full lifecycle of residential development, with clear opportunities for progression within a collaborative and inclusive working environment.
