Someone who can bring clarity, logic, rigour and delight to challenging geometries and ambitious forms.
You’ll be the person who loves the challenge of making the extraordinary buildable. Working closely with designers, consultants and fabricators, you’ll rationalise complex geometries into elegant, efficient systems. Ensuring that what begins as imagination can stand, breathe and belong in the world.
We’re looking for someone who:
This role would suit a technically-minded designer who finds beauty in both the concept and the connection detail. Someone who delights in solving puzzles that turn vision into reality.
If you see computation as a bridge between art and engineering, and you want to help us bring ideas to life at every scale, we’d love to hear from you.
The deadline for applications is Sunday 1st November at midnight.

Heatherwick Studio is a team of 200 problem solvers dedicated to making the physical world around us better for everyone. Based out of our combined workshop and design studio in Central London, we create buildings, spaces, master-plans, objects and infrastructure. Focusing on large scale projects in cities all over the world, we prioritise those with the greatest positive social impact.
Working as practical inventors with no signature style, our motivation is to design soulful and interesting places which embrace and celebrate the complexities of the real world. The approach driving everything is to lead from human experience rather than any fixed design dogma. The studio’s founder Thomas Heatherwick comes from a background immersed in materials and making. His curiosity and passion for problem-solving matured into the studio’s current design process where every architect, designer, landscape architect and maker is encouraged to challenge and contribute ideas.
Positive and pragmatic, the studio’s team are collaborators whose role is to listen, question, then lead the conception and construction of special and unusual places. Ingenuity and inspiration are used to make projects that are affordable and buildable. And our client is vital, who comes on the journey and challenges our thinking; together we look for the opportunities that might traditionally be overlooked. Our best future projects are the ones that will teach us the most.
