Architect

About the Position

We are looking for an Architect with a strong technical and creative profile to join our Building team in our A Coruña office: someone who is organised, proactive and solutions-oriented, with the ability to work collaboratively and contribute independently to projects across a range of typologies and scales.

At Batlleiroig, we work to merge city and nature, designing places that enhance people’s wellbeing, respect the environment and respond to climate challenges. Our purpose is to contribute to the sustainable development of the built and natural environment, by creating places with a positive and lasting impact.

We are a multidisciplinary architecture firm where Building, Landscape and Planning work together to develop projects ranging from buildings and public spaces to large-scale urban strategies, eco-neighbourhoods and new models for cities.

Why Batlleiroig?

Because here you will work on projects unlike those you will find elsewhere. Since our foundation in 1981, we have designed unique projects for every client and context, combining innovation, sustainability and design.

You will join a practice that brings together a wide range of disciplines, scales and professional profiles: architects, landscape architects, urban planners and engineers working together from the earliest design stages. You will contribute to national and international projects across a broad range of typologies and scales.

We believe Batlleiroig’s greatest strength is its people: experienced professionals who share their knowledge, working alongside a new generation bringing energy, fresh ideas and new ways of working.

Cross-disciplinary thinking, collaboration, innovation and a commitment to excellence are among our core values.

A Workplace Designed to Work Better

You will work from our Arteixo office as part of a team connected to Batlleiroig’s multidisciplinary structure.

What Will You Do?

• Join the Building team in our A Coruña office and contribute to the design and development of projects across different typologies and scales throughout every stage.
• Collaborate with MEP and structural engineers, as well as other external consultants.
• Support coordination and communication with clients, contractors, consultant teams and public authorities.
• Take an active role in the construction stage, working with an increasing degree of autonomy.
