This is a fantastic opportunity to work for a well run practice on large scale complex buildings.

It's a broad role when it comes to your day to day responsibilities- a technical background would be preferred and you should definitely have a good understand and experience within RIBA stages 3-4. That being said there are multiple opportunities at this particular practice so if you're a more rounded individual who works on front end design then you may also be considered. Adaptability is the key, with a busy pipeline of work flow you may be put onto varying schemes and varying RIBA stages throughout the contract so it's ideal for those not wanting to be pigeon holed. 

Revit fluency is a must and there may be a Revit test as part of the interview process.
