About this contract

Job Role: Part-Time Roofing Designer / Architectural Drafter
* Location: London (Hybrid / Remote with occasional site visits)
* Commitment: Part-Time (2 to 3 days per week)
* Salary/Rate: Competitive Day Rate / Pro-rata Salary (Dependent on experience)
About Us
We specialize in delivering premium, high-end roof designs for London’s unique architectural landscape. From historic heritage restorations in conservation areas to ultra-modern residential extensions and roof terraces, we pride ourselves on precision, aesthetics, and structural integrity.
To maintain our uncompromising standard of quality, we are looking for a talented, detail-oriented Roofing Designer to join our boutique team on a flexible, part-time basis (2 to 3 days per week).
Key Responsibilities
* Bespoke Roof Design: Create comprehensive architectural drawings, structural blueprints, and detailed layouts for various roof types (including slate, tile, standing seam metal, green roofs, and flat roof systems).
* 3D Visualisation: Generate high-resolution 3D digital renderings and models to help clients visualize designs before construction.
* Technical Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with UK Building Regulations, London planning permissions, conservation area guidelines, and party wall constraints.
* Specification & Drainage: Calculate structural loads, wind/weather resistances, and design smart ventilation and drainage/waterproofing schemes.
* Client & Contractor Collaboration: Liaison with clients, structural engineers, and contractors to ensure design feasibility and seamless handover.
What We Are Looking For
* Proven Experience: Strong background in architectural design, structural engineering, or specialized roofing design (ideally within the London market).
* Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks) and 3D rendering tools (e.g., SketchUp, Rhino, or Lumion).
* Local Regulations Knowledge: A solid understanding of UK Building Regulations and London-specific planning restrictions.
* Independent Worker: Ability to manage your own workload efficiently across 2–3 days, delivering highly accurate, mistake-free technical blueprints.
Why Join Us?
* Uncapped Flexibility: Perfect for an established freelancer looking for a steady stream of contract income, or a professional seeking a healthier work-life balance.
* Premium Projects: Work on high-value, architecturally diverse properties across London.
* Collaborative Environment: Join a highly focused, boutique team where your design expertise is valued and directly shapes the business
