Welcome to the careers section which is designed to help guide you through your career path into Architectural Technology and ultimately becoming a Chartered Architectural Technologist or a professionally qualified Architectural Technician.
The Architectural Technology profession is relatively young, compared to its sisters in architecture and construction management, and its continued growth relies upon the passion and enthusiasm shown by our members, award winners and those delivering excellence in built environment design and performance. The only limit to the scope and scale of a project you can deliver is your imagination.
I am fortunate to meet many students, CIAT members and other industry professionals, who all agree that it is a very exciting time in the industry and particularly for Architectural Technology. The 2012 Olympics and the Government’s homebuilding agenda are frequently mentioned as boosts for construction, but there is a massive industry outside of those. Sports infrastructure and homes are just two aspects of a sustainable and inclusive built environment, not just in London but the whole of the UK and other nations.
In my salaried job as a senior lecturer, I work with many students who have the enthusiasm and aptitude to deliver innovative solutions to design and performance problems. They, and all of our students, really will be talented people delivering extraordinary projects. I hope that you will become one of them.
