Posted Yesterday

We are currently working with an award-winning, medium-sized regional developer in their search for an experienced Senior Architectural Technician to join their established Technical team.

Based in Livingston, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to high-quality residential and social housing developments across the region.

As a Senior Architectural Technician, you will take a lead role in managing design and technical processes, liaising with both internal teams and external consultants to bring projects from early design stages through to approvals and construction. This is a varied and rewarding position offering the chance to shape the delivery of new homes and play an integral role within a collaborative and forward-thinking developer.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and manage project teams, chairing design team meetings and ensuring delivery against project programmes.

  • Drive value engineering and efficiencies, reducing abortive design costs through early consultant and subcontractor involvement.

  • Take ownership of Building Warrant submissions and approvals, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements including Planning, RCC and Building Standards.

  • Liaise with local authorities and statutory bodies to secure all necessary approvals.

  • Provide timely technical support to site teams, resolving construction or detailing issues as they arise.

  • Attend and chair pre-start and site meetings, contributing to monthly project reviews.

  • Co-ordinate external consultants to deliver house type working drawings and liaise with key suppliers on technical information.

  • Prepare and review detailed drawings for Building Warrant and construction stages.

  • Support the ongoing development of standard house type ranges and ensure consistent technical quality across all designs.

  • Mentor and support junior team members, contributing to the growth of the Technical department.

  • Assist with sales brochure material and attend handover meetings when required.

The Ideal Candidate:
  • Extensive experience within new build housing and flatted developments across both private residential and social housing sectors.

  • Strong technical knowledge of Scottish Building Regulations and NHBC Standards guidelines.

  • Highly proficient in AutoCAD and Revit, with strong general IT skills (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel).

  • Excellent understanding of construction detailing and ability to work with accuracy and minimal supervision.

  • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deadlines.

  • Proactive, motivated, and committed to delivering high-quality housing.

  • Knowledge of Project Vault systems would be advantageous but not essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for a driven Architectural Technician looking to take the next step in their career with a highly respected regional developer.
