Architectural Designer

An architectural designer is responsible for creating the plans and designs for new buildings and structures, or for making improvements to existing ones. This role involves working closely with clients to understand their needs, developing concept sketches and detailed drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and collaborating with engineers, surveyors, and construction teams to bring projects to life. Architectural designers need a strong sense of creativity and attention to detail, as well as good problem-solving and communication skills. In the UK, many architectural designers work for architectural practices, construction firms, or as freelancers. The work can range from residential homes to commercial buildings and public spaces.
