Speculative Application – Design Technology Lead (Architecture Practice)
Own the tool-stack, fuse code with craft, and push the studio’s digital edge forward.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and professional community for architects, designers and the technologists who empower them. Our leading-practice clients lean on a Design Technology Lead to unify BIM, CAD, computational design and visualisation under one coherent strategy. They brief us well before any advert appears, so we keep an active shortlist of hands-on digital leaders ready to step in.

What our clients typically ask for
Deep, cross-platform mastery: Revit & BIM 360 for production; AutoCAD for legacy workflows; Rhino + Grasshopper / Dynamo (Python | C#) for parametrics; Unreal / Twinmotion / Enscape for real-time visualisation

Proven record rolling out ISO 19650 standards, template libraries, automation scripts and model-audit protocols across multi-project portfolios

Strategic mindset that aligns software road-maps and R&D pilots with design goals, fees and programme

Mentorship & evangelism: designing training paths, hosting lunch-and-learns and troubleshooting live project issues without drama

Collaborative leadership—able to translate directors’ aspirations into practical guidelines, and explain tech trade-offs in plain language to consultants and clients

Innovation credentials: evidence of custom plug-ins, digital-twin pilots, AI/ML or cloud-based pipeline integrations is a major plus

If your portfolio shows built work delivered through clean models, smart scripts and compelling immersive visuals—and you can lift a whole studio’s digital confidence—we’d love to hear from you.
