The ability to take control of all aspects of a project from client management to consultant coordination; planning through technical design and contract administration made my transition from aspiring architect to fully qualified architect seem-less. They supported my development; solidified my architectural interest and facilitated the progression of my career.” – Thomas McCaughan

The Role

We are looking for a RIBA Part II Architectural Assistant to join our friendly North London studio. This is an ideal opportunity to gain hands-on, practical experience and develop a deep understanding of architecture by working on live projects alongside supportive colleagues.

You’ll gain exposure to every stage of the process, from initial concepts and planning applications through to technical detailing and seeing designs built on site.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the preparation of drawings, reports, and presentations for active projects.
• Contribute ideas and research to design development and problem-solving.
• Support the preparation of planning applications and liaise with local planning authorities under supervision.

Why Work with Us?

At BB Partnership, we don’t just design buildings, we design careers. Our supportive studio culture provides exposure to all aspects of architecture.

“I had the most formative years of my career while working at BB Partnership. I left university and worked in a small practice for a year which I decided wasn’t for me, and then found an opportunity at BB Partnership. I started with a March (arch) but at the time didn’t realise I had very little working knowledge.

The practice had a wide circle of clients, build over decades which brought in a wide variety of exciting projects and gave me opportunities which enabled me to complete my part 3.

I was lucky enough to work there for 5 years and are still in contact with directors and colleagues now. I was given so many opportunities, not only to develop as an architect but also work on such great projects and be privileged to work in such a great team. ”– James Coad
