Job Description
Senior Architect - Residential & Masterplanning
Following continued growth in our residential sector workload, Bracewell are seeking an experienced Senior Architect to join our expanding team, with a particular focus on large-scale developer housing, placemaking and masterplanning projects across Scotland.
This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role within an award-winning practice recently recognised as Homes for Scotland Awards winner for Supporting Member of the Year 2026.
Working with many of Scotland's leading housing developers, the successful candidate will contribute to the design and delivery of high-quality residential communities across a diverse range of suburban and mixed-use developments.
The role can be based in any of our Scottish studios, including Stirling, Inverness or Oban, with a preference for Stirling or Inverness.
The Role
Due to a sustained period of growth and a strong pipeline of residential projects, we are looking for a talented and experienced architect with a proven background in developer housing, residential layout design, and the delivery of high-quality technical information.
Initially, the successful candidate will support our senior team across a range of residential projects at varying scales and stages. However, the role is intended to quickly develop into a key senior position helping to lead the housing side of the practice, offering genuine long-term progression opportunities.
The role will involve:
Leading the design and delivery of residential and masterplanning projects
Producing and managing high-quality drawing packages and technical information
Working closely with major housing developers, consultant teams, and local authorities
Supporting and mentoring junior staff members
Managing projects across multiple RIBA stages
Contributing to placemaking, design development, project coordination, and delivery programmes
As a practice, Bracewell also offer specialist expertise in both Masterplanning and Energy sectors, providing opportunities to contribute to a diverse and evolving portfolio of work.
We Are Looking For Candidates With:
Significant experience within the housing and/or masterplanning sectors
Experience working on large-scale developer housing projects
Strong residential layout design skills
Excellent technical and drawing production capability
A positive, collaborative, and professional approach
The ability to work effectively to programme deadlines
Confidence working both independently and as part of a wider team
Enthusiasm for developing and testing design ideas at all project stages
Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit
Experience managing teams and coordinating project delivery would be highly advantageous.
In Return, We Offer:
Salary of £48,000-£60,000 depending on experience
Annual performance bonus
Clear opportunities for career progression and leadership
The opportunity to play a key role in shaping new residential communities across Scotland
Exciting and varied project opportunities across all scales of housing development
A supportive, collaborative, and social studio culture
Private healthcare following successful completion of probation
Enhanced company pension scheme
Flexibility when required, alongside a strong studio-based working environment
The opportunity to work across our Scottish studios in Stirling, Inverness and Oban
Our Stirling studio is located within Stirling University Innovation Park, offering an exceptional working environment with on-site amenities including cafés and corporate membership rates at the University Sports Centre. Our Inverness office will soon relocate to Inverness Campus.
