Careers

LSI Architects has been recognised as one of the best employers in the construction industry.

We are gold accredited by Investors In People, and have been certified as a Great Place To Work®.

We want our people to be happy, healthy, highly trained and highly motivated to deliver the quality design and committed service our clients expect from us. Increasing these four things in equal measure, for every one of our team, allows us to become stronger, achieve our ambitions and generate design opportunities that challenge, and allow us to explore our potential.

And so, we really look after our people, not just because of our legal obligations, but because we believe that they are our greatest investment.

WHY DO WE DO IT?

The benefits to us are clear, our clients tell us that they value our professional, collaborative, friendly and creative approach to projects and that our team is great to work with, and around 80% of our work comes from repeat business.

Employee retention and wellbeing statistics suggest we’re doing things right.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Your training and development at LSI will start with induction and continue throughout your career with us. In fact more than 50% of our leadership team is made up of people who have come through the ranks at the Practice.

To support you in your career development, you’ll have regular 1 to 1’s with an assigned mentor who’ll have the skills and experience relevant to your career path and a Wellbeing Action Plan so that you can tell us how we can best support your wellbeing.

You’ll have an annual training budget, in terms of both cost and study leave, as well as the opportunity to attend regularly held CPD events, and our monthly Forum sessions with headings covering topics such as Design, Technical, Digital and Sustainability.

We place great emphasis as a business on the mental health and wellbeing of our teams and have worked alongside mental health charity Mind to provide our team with strategies and mechanisms to keep us well and resilient.

We also enjoy plenty of social events as a team including Pitch&Putt tournaments, Sports Days and our annual study trip, which has taken us across to Belfast, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Budapest.
