Architect

About the Position

We are looking for a Architect with an interest in communications, writing, and graphic representation, who is motivated and keen to join our Communications Department and help us explain the projects we create.

We are looking for someone who enjoys reading, writing, and talking about architecture; who understands the importance of taking care over both the content and the way it is communicated; and who enjoys drawing and creating graphic materials with care and sensitivity.

No previous professional experience is required. The position is open both to Architecture students in the final years of their studies, with the possibility of joining through an internship agreement, and to Architecture graduates who would like to pursue a career in architectural communications.

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.

Responsibilities

• Produce plans and drawings specifically for communications purposes, paying particular attention to composition, legibility, and graphic consistency.
• Collaborate with project teams to gather information, understand design decisions, and identify the most relevant aspects of each project.

Requirements

• Are in the final years of an Architecture degree or qualifying master’s programme, or have recently graduated.
• Are interested in architecture not only as a professional practice, but also as a discipline that deserves to be explained, shared, and discussed.
• Enjoy reading and writing about architecture and can organize ideas and express them clearly and engagingly.
• Understand the importance of carefully considering the words, images, and methods used to present projects.
• Enjoy drawing and producing plans and graphic materials with close attention to detail.
• Are interested in communications, graphic design, photography, editorial production, and digital platforms.
• Are creative, curious, rigorous, and organized, with initiative and a desire to learn.
• Enjoy working as part of a team and engaging with people from different professional backgrounds and disciplines.

Skills

• High level of written and spoken Catalan and Spanish, particularly in writing.
• A high level of English would be an advantage.
• Working knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
• Can interpret and work with architectural documentation and use drawing tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and others.
• Knowledge of photography, video editing, Premiere Pro, or After Effects will be viewed favourably.
• Any additional training or interest in communications, graphic representation, editorial design, photography, or academic research will also be valued.

We Offer

• The opportunity to join a leading architecture practice and contribute to complex, high-impact projects.
• The chance to work on pioneering projects across a range of typologies and scales, helping to shape the cities of the future.
• Become part of a thriving talent ecosystem: a multidisciplinary team of more than 200 professionals with an excellent working environment.
