At Bryden Wood, we are expanding our Spanish teams to support the delivery of some of the world's most complex and ambitious projects for leading technology companies, industrial organisations, and global investors.
We are seeking talented Architects to join our growing team and play a key role in the design and delivery of Data Centres, Advanced Manufacturing, Industrial, and other large-scale technical facilities across Europe and beyond. This is a unique opportunity to work on high-profile, technically demanding projects that are shaping the future of the built environment.
As part of our Barcelona or Madrid studios, you will be fully integrated into our international Architectural team and work closely with colleagues across our UK headquarters and global project teams. You will collaborate with experts in Architecture, Structures, Civils, MEP, Sustainability, Digital Design, and Project Management to develop innovative, coordinated, and efficient design solutions from concept through to delivery.
The role offers exposure to all stages of the design process, with a particular focus on technical design development, multidisciplinary coordination, BIM-led delivery, permitting, and the production of high-quality construction documentation. You will contribute to projects that demand technical excellence, rigorous coordination, and a forward-thinking approach to design and delivery.
Joining Bryden Wood means becoming part of a practice that is redefining how buildings are designed and delivered through design excellence, digital innovation, modern methods of construction, and industrialised design principles. Our teams work at the forefront of the industry, helping clients solve some of their biggest challenges while delivering projects that are smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient.
This is an exciting opportunity for ambitious Architects who want to develop their careers in a truly international environment, work alongside industry-leading professionals, and contribute to some of the most significant Data Centre and Industrial developments being delivered today.
The Role
As an Architect, you will be an integral member of our Architectural team, contributing to the delivery of complex Data Centres, and large-scale manufacturing, industrial and technology projects across Europe and beyond. Working within multidisciplinary teams, you will collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and clients to develop coordinated technical solutions, support project delivery from concept through construction, and help deliver innovative, high-quality design outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Become a fully integrated member of our Architectural teams in Barcelona or Madrid, while contributing to major international projects in collaboration with colleagues across Europe and beyond.
Work closely with multidisciplinary teams including Architecture, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, MEP, Sustainability, and client stakeholders to deliver innovative, high-quality design solutions.
Support and drive architectural design development from concept through to detailed design (RIBA Stages 2–6, or equivalent local design stages), transforming design intent into coordinated technical solutions and tender documentation.
Ensure designs comply with relevant local building regulations, codes, and international standards, adapting technical approaches to suit project-specific jurisdictions.
Assist in the preparation and coordination of permit and statutory approval documentation for submission to local authorities and professional bodies across multiple international locations.
Develop spatial coordination strategies, technical detailing, and material specifications under the guidance of Senior Architects, Associates and Project Leads.
Produce comprehensive architectural documentation, including floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and detailed construction packages, ensuring seamless integration with structural and building services systems.
Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams, actively participating in design reviews, coordination workshops, and clash detection/resolution processes.
Contribute to the delivery of complex Data Centre, and large-scale manufacturing, industrial and technology project, maintaining high standards of design quality, technical excellence, and project performance.
What We're Looking For
Education: Master's Degree in Architecture (or an equivalent 5-year professional qualification). Professional registration with a recognised architectural body (e.g., ARB, Colegio de Arquitectos, or international equivalent) is required or actively being pursued, subject to local requirements.
Technical Design Expertise: Strong experience in architectural technical design development and coordination, particularly across RIBA Stages 3 and 4 (or equivalent local design stages), with the ability to develop complex projects from design intent through to detailed technical delivery.
International Code Knowledge: Proven ability to interpret, research, and apply a broad range of local building regulations, planning requirements, and international design standards across different project jurisdictions.
Experience: Minimum 2-5 years' post-qualification experience within architecture, with a strong track record of producing and coordinating detailed technical design and construction documentation.
Permitting & Approvals: Demonstrable experience supporting the preparation, coordination, and submission of statutory approvals, permit applications, and technical documentation to local authorities and professional bodies across multiple territories.
Project Experience: Experience delivering large-scale industrial, infrastructure, data centre, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, logistics, or other technically complex commercial projects. Previous Data Centre experience is advantageous but not essential—we will provide sector-specific training and support.
Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to confidently collaborate within international, multidisciplinary teams and engage effectively with clients and stakeholders.
Digital Delivery: Advanced proficiency in Revit for BIM authoring, detailed modelling, and technical documentation, alongside strong experience using Navisworks for multidisciplinary coordination, spatial analysis, and clash detection.
Collaboration: A proactive and team-oriented approach, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment alongside Architecture, Structures, Civils, MEP, Sustainability, and Project Management teams.
Problem Solving: Strong technical and analytical skills, with a passion for delivering coordinated, high-quality design solutions on complex and challenging projects.
