Studio Recruitment Notice • Autumn 2026

We Are Not Actively Hiring for Open Vacancies at Present

All current positions within our Watford studio are fully staffed. However, because our project commissions across London and Hertfordshire continue to expand with exciting residential extensions, bespoke new builds, and commercial schemes, we actively review and maintain a live talent pool of exceptional candidates. When new opportunities arise, applicants already on file are our first port of call before any public advertising.
