If you enjoy working in a collaborative and multicultural environment and are looking to advance your career, we’re looking for experienced and enthusiastic architects to join our growing multi-national practice, (ranked as a World Architecture 100 firm), in Madrid, Spain.
We encourage all our employees to work to the highest standards of professionalism whilst being self-reliant and showing independence of thought. In return, we’ll provide you with the experience and education to progress your career:
Most of our projects pass rapidly from concept to completion so you’ll experience a wide range of job phases, including valuable site experience.
Each of our local offices are relatively small so you’ll quickly feel part of a friendly, supportive team, and get to work closely with senior colleagues.
Our multi-national network means you’ll be given the opportunity to collaborate with Hyphen’s offices across the UK, Europe, Latin America and beyond to work on interesting projects for world-leading clients.
In addition, our hybrid working approach means that you’ll be able to work from home for up to three days each week (after a 6-month probation period) with the remaining time in our Madrid office.
