As the sole IT professional in a specialist practice, your breadth of skills — from servers to GIS support — is what keeps projects moving. We'll find the right fit.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy working across the full breadth of the built environment sector, including landscape architecture and urban design. We partner with specialist practices that need versatile IT professionals who can manage everything from server infrastructure to end-user support, often as the only technology professional in the studio. We understand the unique demands of supporting GIS, AutoCAD, and creative workflows.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Full ownership of a practice's technology estate including servers, networks, and end-user devices
• On-premises server management, backup systems, and disaster recovery procedures
• Network administration including switches, wireless access points, and VPN for remote workers
• Workstation configuration optimised for GIS, AutoCAD, and Adobe software
• Website hosting, email security, and data protection compliance management
• IT strategy development and annual technology budget planning
• Ability to work autonomously, prioritise competing demands, and communicate with non-technical colleagues

If your broad technical skills and independent working style make you the technology backbone of a specialist practice, we want to hear from you.

Why Register With Architecture Social
Sole-charge IT roles in specialist design practices are rare and highly sought after. By registering with us, you'll be among the first to hear about these unique positions — practices where your breadth of expertise is genuinely valued rather than siloed. We'll understand your technical range and preferred working style, then match you with studios where you can take genuine ownership. Our process is confidential and designed to work around your timeline.
