Adrian James Architects are looking for an excellent all-round architect to join the practice. We have a range of exciting commissions on the drawing board and we need more hands on deck.
We want someone with superb design and technical abilities plus the skill set and experience to act as project architect from inception to completion on complex buildings.
The responsibilities of the job will be:
- managing large projects through planning, technical design, tender and contract workstages,

The skills required are:
- Exceptional conceptual design and technical design ability,
- Wide job-running and contract management experience,
- excellent software capabilities in 2D and 3D,

- inquisitive, proactive and positive attitude.
AJA has a strong design emphasis, encouraging singular, radical approaches to a wide range of projects. We have a stringent environmental policy with a dedicated ambition to be carbon positive in practice and in our projects wherever possible. The studio is in central Oxford very near the station. We are Mac-based, using Vectorworks (3D) and Sketchup predominantly. We are not a large practice, there is no rigid hierarchy and we can be flexible about employment terms. We are, of course, an equal opportunities employer. We offer competitive salaries commensurate with experience and responsibility.
