Architect (Life Sciences)

Architect – Advanced Health & Science Design

Glasgow

£40,000–£48,000

Hybrid

If you’re an Architect who thrives on purposeful design, technical complexity and environments where your decisions genuinely improve lives, this role will put your skills at the forefront of innovation.

You’ll join a practice shaping some of the UK’s most advanced healthcare and scientific facilities — places where architecture directly influences patient outcomes, research breakthroughs and the future of clinical environments.

This is not a typical architectural role. It’s a chance to design buildings that matter.

Why this opportunity stands out

Design that changes lives : You’ll work on high‑impact health and science projects — from specialist treatment centres to research laboratories — where thoughtful design supports healing, discovery and long‑term societal benefit.

A studio built around digital excellence: ArchiCAD is at the heart of their workflow. If you enjoy model‑led design, coordination and pushing digital tools to their limits, you’ll feel right at home.

A role that recognises your experience: With 5+ years in practice, you’ll step into a position that values your design judgement, technical capability and ability to contribute meaningfully across RIBA stages.

A collaborative, multidisciplinary environment: You’ll work closely with architects, clinicians, engineers and technical specialists who understand the importance of well‑designed, high‑performance environments — and who value your voice in shaping them.

A Glasgow base with national influence: Enjoy the support of a local studio while contributing to projects that shape the future of health and science across the UK.
