Job Details

Cowan Architects Ltd are currently looking for an enthusiastic Part 1 Architectural Assistant to join our office in East Grinstead.  We are a friendly and design focused practice specialising in a number of sectors, including:

  • Re-Clad/Retrofit
  • Residential
  • Sports & Leisure
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Hospitality
  • Workplace
  • Heritage

Our approach to planning for over 40 years has given us the experience to advise our clients on obtaining valuable consents for even the most challenging of sites and has provided us with a strong reputation for successful planning negotiations, particularly in the Green Belt, Conservation Areas and on Listed Buildings.

A successful candidate will:

  • Be passionate about design, problem solving and collaborative working.
  • Have excellent skills in Revit, InDesign, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop and Microsoft Office.
  • Be able to manage their time effectively.
  • Enjoy sketching and exploring several representational methods of designing.

  • Be available to start working with us from September 2022 until August 2023.
  • Be fluent in written and spoken English and have the right to work in the UK.
  • Ideally be located within 25 miles of the East Grinstead office.

The successful candidate will gain valuable ‘year out’ experience consisting of all stages of work and will work with a mentor to successfully complete a year’s worth of PEDR.  You will be exposed to projects of varying scales, styles and conditions with lots of opportunities to see works on site.  All past Part 1 graduates have found our programme extremely educational and experiential to the extent that they stay for 2 years with further opportunity to study for Part 2 and beyond with the company.  Salary dependent on experience, with 23 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays.

If you are interested in this position, please send us your CV and examples of your work in one email to Jacqueline Dougan @ info@cowan-architects.co.uk no later than Tuesday 13 September 2022.
