At Hawkins\Brown, we believe architecture should be serious about society and human at its core. As an employee‑owned, B Corp‑certified practice, we see business as a force for good - designing places that strengthen communities, respond to the climate crisis, and leave the world better than we found it. 

We’re looking for talented and thoughtful Part II Architectural Assistants to join our studios across London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin. You’ll work within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams on a range of projects, contributing ideas, developing designs, and helping to shape meaningful, high‑quality architecture. 

We’re interested in people who bring: 

• Strong design thinking and the ability to develop clear, well‑resolved ideas 

• Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to take ownership 

• A collaborative, open and generous approach to teamwork 

• Clear communication and the ability to engage with different perspectives 

• A genuine interest in the social and environmental impact of architecture 

Alongside this, you’ll have a solid grounding in the core tools and technical knowledge needed to contribute effectively to projects, including: 

• Ability to produce coherent architectural designs 

• A basic knowledge of building technologies, regulations and planning processes 

• Understanding of technical standards, regulatory frameworks and health & safety requirements 

• Awareness of professional duty of care and project roles 

• Knowledge of CAD standards 

• Excellent 2D / 3D CAD and DTP skills 

• Experience in Revit 

What we offer 

In return, you’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious and inclusive culture - one that invests in your development, values diverse perspectives, and gives you the opportunity to work on meaningful, high‑quality projects. As an employee‑owned practice, we work collectively, share success, and create an environment where everyone is encouraged to grow, contribute and thrive. 

We offer: 

• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 28 with service 

• Duvet Day 

• Private Medical Insurance 

• Hybrid working and flexitime 

• Subsidised gym membership 

• Life Assurance and Income Protection 

• Interest-free travel loan and rental deposit loan 

• Training and development programmes 

• Enhanced parental leave 

• Discretionary Profit Share Scheme 

Application process 

To help us manage a high volume of applications and, more importantly, to give us the best chance of understanding you and your work, we ask that you include a maximum of three projects within your portfolio. These can be drawn from university, practice, or personal work; we’re more interested in the thinking behind the work than the setting. 

As part of the application, you’ll also be asked to respond to two questions. We appreciate that this requires extra time and consideration, but they are designed to help us get a clearer sense of your approach, interests and values, and to ensure we’re finding the right fit for both you and Hawkins\Brown. 

Hawkins\Brown is an equal opportunities employer. We know that diverse teams are strong teams and welcome people of all identities, backgrounds and experiences to apply. We are committed to creating a fair, inclusive and accessible recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the application or interview process, please let us know.
