The role

Project Architect, in plain terms.

A Project Architect coordinates a project's design and delivery, bringing together the practice team, consultants and the client around the work that needs to happen.

The title does not tell you the whole scope. Ask about project size, stages, programme, resources and decision-making authority. Responsibility needs the right support behind it.

Ask before you accept

  1. Which stages, programme and deliverables would I lead?
  2. What team and technical support are already in place?
  3. Which decisions would I own, and who signs them off?

Where it leads

From projects to practice leadership.
