Careers
A rewarding place to work & grow –
with support, purpose and creativity.
We’re people driven by design.
We’re known for our collaborative culture, where colleagues support each other and share ideas freely. It’s a place where you can shape your career, contribute meaningfully and enjoy the journey.
You’ll work on interesting projects alongside a talented team – and with our continued growth, you’ll help shape the future of the practice.
From training and mentoring to wellbeing and CSR – we foster a culture that values creativity & collaboration, leading & listening.
We support wellbeing through our Mental Health First Aider and Employee Assistance programmes. We’re committed to environmental and social value – and we’re becoming a plastic-free practice.
There are many ways to get involved in CSR. Our team volunteers for wildlife and green causes, raises money for the arts, coaches youth sport and has donated hundreds of hours in pro bono design work for charities.
Whatever your passion, you’ll find like-minded colleagues who encourage & inspire you.

Architect
At Corstorphine & Wright, you’ll find opportunities to grow – no matter your role or where you start.
For us, inclusivity isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s a way of behaving – and it makes us better architects. Just look at our senior team: directors come from diverse backgrounds, not just traditional architecture.
We aim to be at the forefront of the industry for training, including through partnerships and university collaborations. We’re active with RIBA and CIAT mentoring and university tutoring. You gain experience across projects, sectors and innovations. You get site, design and technical experience to prepare you for exams. And we offer part-time support to help everyone realise their ambitions.
Pride & Purpose
There’s a natural energy in our studios – a sense of shared purpose and pride. You’ll feel a sense of ownership of your work while also feeling part of something bigger.
Innovation & Creativity
You’ll explore new ideas, from sustainable design to innovative construction methods. You’ll feel like you’re working at the cutting edge in a tangible way – because we design places that improve people’s lives.
Impact & Meaning
We have a track record for getting things built. You’ll stand inside buildings you helped design and spaces you helped create, see people using them and know you’ve made a lasting difference.
We’re always looking for curious minds & creative thinkers.
