Job description

Urban Designer - London-based | Salary: £42,000–£46,000 | Start: ASAP

We are seeking a passionate and talented Urban Designer to join a dynamic, collaborative planning team working across a range of global, cross-disciplinary projects. You will be supported by senior design leadership and project managers, contributing to the design, development, and delivery of high-profile masterplanning projects.

This opportunity begins with a landmark project in the Middle East that carries a strong legacy and long-term impact. You’ll work within a dedicated 12-person team formed specifically for this project—offering hands-on experience in shaping large-scale urban environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the Planning team, Lead Designer, and Project Manager to test and develop design ideas

  • Translate design concepts into clear, presentable formats for client presentations

  • Coordinate day-to-day workflow and manage technical delivery aspects

  • Contribute to both standalone planning projects and integrated efforts with other studio sectors

Experience:

  • Minimum 5 years of professional experience in Urban Design

  • Previous work on large-scale, high-density, mixed-use masterplans

  • Middle East project experience is a plus but not essential

Skills & Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in Urban Design with an undergraduate degree in Architecture (Part II or equivalent)

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and 3D modeling (Rhino or SketchUp)

  • Experience with Revit is advantageous (training can be provided)

  • Strong English communication skills—both written and verbal

Team Environment:

You’ll be joining a Planning team of 10 Urban Designers and Landscape Architects, known for their collaborative spirit and supportive culture. The team works across sectors including Mixed Use, Sports + Entertainment, Healthcare, Science + Technology, and Public & Institutional.
