We are looking for talented and experienced full-time Part 2 Architectural Assistants to work in our North-West London office.
Your work will involve producing computer 2D drawings and 3D models for VIC Construction and our sister company London Joinery by Design, a business involved with timber door, staircase and window production.
You will be involved in projects across London and the South-East, familiarising yourself with the translation from design through to construction.
Tasks will involve site visits, drawing, modelling and managing project valuations. These skills will help gear you towards your Part 3.

Working at VIC Construction will no doubt test your design and management skills along with honing your knowledge of construction and materials.
