There are practices that talk about delivering meaningful projects, and then there are practices that genuinely shape cities, transport networks and public spaces for generations. I'm working exclusively with an internationally recognised architectural practice seeking a Senior Architect or Associate Director to join their Edinburgh studio. This is an opportunity to play a key role within a respected design led business whose portfolio includes some of the most significant regeneration, infrastructure, civic and cultural projects delivered across the UK and internationally. The Edinburgh team forms an important part of a wider multidisciplinary organisation, giving you access to projects that are often unavailable within the Scottish market. Their work spans major transport infrastructure, large scale regeneration, education, heritage and civic developments, with a strong focus on creating places that leave a lasting legacy. They are looking for an experienced architect who combines strong design sensibilities with technical credibility and leadership capability. You will take ownership of complex projects from concept through delivery, leading multidisciplinary teams and acting as a trusted advisor to clients, consultants and stakeholders. The role will suit someone who enjoys navigating complex project environments and who is motivated by the challenge of delivering architecture that has genuine social, cultural and economic impact. You will be joining a studio where collaboration, design quality and technical excellence are valued equally. The successful candidate will play a visible role within project teams, helping to mentor and develop more junior colleagues while contributing to the continued growth and success of the Edinburgh office.

Strong experience delivering projects through later design stages is important, alongside the confidence to engage directly with clients and manage multiple stakeholder relationships. The practice offers an environment where architects are trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas and influence outcomes. While design quality remains at the heart of what they do, there is also a strong emphasis on technical delivery, buildability and creating architecture that works in the real world. Perhaps most importantly, this is an opportunity to join a business with a clear long term vision. Recent changes to the ownership structure have reinforced a commitment to succession planning and leadership development, creating genuine opportunities for ambitious individuals who want to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the practice. If you are looking for the chance to work on projects of national and international significance, lead talented teams and build a career within one of the industry's most respected architectural practices, I would be delighted to have a confidential conversation.

Management Accountant | Edinburgh (Hybrid) | Competitive package We are looking for an experienced Management Accountant to join a collaborative finance team during a genuinely exciting period of expansion. With ambitious plans, it is a chance to be part of something with serious momentum - not just maintain the numbers, but help shape the story behind them. This is a role for someone who's already doing this well and wants to do it somewhere it actually matters - where the pace is real, the growth is tangible, and the finance function has a seat at the table. On offer is an excellent salary and benefits package, plus hybrid working What you'll be doing You'll take ownership of consolidated management accounts across a small UK-based group, delivering detailed variance analysis and clear, commercially relevant commentary to C-suite and board level. A big part of this role is communication - translating the numbers for non-finance stakeholders, leading departmental cost centre reviews, and confidently presenting and defending your analysis when challenged. The heavy manual lifting is being replaced by smarter systems and better data. That means more time for genuine analysis, insight, and influence - which is where you come in. There's also a clear development path and scope to grow your remit and your team. What we're looking for You'll be a qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent) who has done this before in a similar environment - ideally large company, high-growth, or multi-entity. You'll be comfortable with group consolidations, stakeholder engagement, and the kind of fast-changing reporting requirements that come with a scaling business. Experience with Dynamics 365 or Business Central would be a bonus, but it's not essential. Above all, you'll have the confidence to hold your own in a room, the curiosity to dig into the detail, and the commercial awareness to explain why it matters. At Iconic Resourcing, we work with professionals who are often in high demand, so we keep things straightforward and flexible. Conversations don't need to happen during office hours - we can arrange calls at a time that suits you. Visit our website to view all our roles across Scotland.

I’m recruiting a senior Monitoring Surveyor to take immediate responsibility for an established Scottish lender portfolio. This is not a slow-burn hire, and not a training role. You’ll step straight into live projects, manage your own workload, and be trusted to deliver. If you’re already doing monitoring - or doing it as a part of your current role - this is a chance to focus fully on it, with autonomy, strong fee income, and genuine long-term progression. This appointment is part of a wider plan to grow the Scottish monitoring team. The immediate priority is delivery, but the longer-term objective is to build additional capacity beneath this role as workload continues to expand. For the right person, this develops into a senior position with influence over how the team evolves. The Role This is a senior, delivery-led monitoring position primarily covering Scotland’s Central Belt, with the bulk of work across Glasgow and Edinburgh with some projects a little further afield (e.g Dundee, Aberdeen). You’ll manage a live caseload from day one, with responsibility for quality, judgement, and client confidence - not just site visits. Key responsibilities include: Managing a live portfolio of lender and fund monitoring instructions, preparing detailed initial due diligence and risk reports, undertaking regular site inspections and monthly monitoring reports. Assessing progress, cost to complete, programme, and drawdown requests Liaising directly with lenders, funds, borrowers, and project teams Managing reporting timetables and site visits autonomously Maintaining consistent reporting standards across varied lender templates Projects span private residential, serviced accommodation, PBSA, hotels, and office conversions. Values range from c. £1m schemes through to £30 million, although on occasion they do large multi-phase developments in excess of £100m. A sensible workload is around 12–15 live projects- busy, but manageable. This will enable you to comfortably hit your bonus target. Who This Suits They want someone very much in the mould of the people they already trust. You’ll ideally have: Proven experience acting as Monitoring Surveyor for banks or development funders A QS, Building Surveying, or Project Management background. Strong technical judgement and clear, lender-friendly report writing. Confidence running live instructions without close supervision. Experience managing multiple projects concurrently. Comfort dealing directly with lenders and funds MRICS is welcome but not essential if your monitoring experience is strong. This will suit someone who: Is already specialising in monitoring, or is doing monitoring within a larger consultancy and wants to formalise that path Working Style Fully home-based Total autonomy over your diary Regional site visits across the Central Belt Quarterly one-day team sessions in London There is no expectation to sit in an office. You’ll be trusted to plan your time, manage your workload, and deliver. Support is there when needed - but micromanagement is not part of the culture. Salary, Bonus & Package The role can be appointed at Senior or Associate Director level, depending on experience. Indicative base salary: • Senior / Associate: £50,000 – £60,000, • Associate Director: £60,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience) In addition to base salary: • Car allowance, • Pension, • Commission-style bonus linked directly to your own fee delivery The bonus is transparent and performance-led- hitting target fee levels typically delivers a circa 15% bonus, with further upside for overperformance. Total earnings are materially higher than base alone. Progression At six months, success looks like being fully embedded with a double-digit live caseload. At twelve months, you’ll be a senior presence in Scotland - helping stabilise delivery and enabling future growth, including the potential to support or mentor a more junior hire. This is a genuine senior role with influence, not just a title. The Process Initial confidential conversation Interview focused on real monitoring scenarios Final sign-off This is a live hire, and they are keen to move quickly for the right person.
