Imagine taking an ambitious architectural concept and guiding it through the moment it becomes a physical reality.
As an Architectural Delivery Specialist at Aston Martin, you will play an important part in bringing our creative vision to life across a distinctive portfolio of luxury architectural projects. Based within our award-winning Design department in Gaydon, you will work across projects including branded real estate, private residences, flagship stores, dealerships, global events and facilities.
You will join the Aston Martin Partnerships Architectural Design team, where expertise spans architecture, product design, transportation design, graphics and show-stand design. Working closely with the Chief Designer of Architecture and the Design Lead for each project, you will take responsibility for projects as they move from design development into delivery, supporting them through construction, completion and final sign-off.
This is an opportunity for you to become the link between creative ambition and successful construction. You will help ensure that every decision made during delivery protects the original design intent while meeting Aston Martin’s standards for luxury, quality and brand identity.
You will oversee project schedules, execution and handover, leading external design reviews with developers, architects and construction teams while contributing to regular internal reviews. From overall spatial planning to detailed design solutions, you will be comfortable moving between the bigger picture and the finer details that ultimately shape the quality of the finished environment.
Relationships will be central to your success. You will build trust with clients, developers, architects, interior designers, contractors and suppliers, creating clear communication throughout each stage of delivery. You will also collaborate with colleagues across Architectural Design, the wider Design Studio, Marketing, Network Development and Facilities.
You will be someone who can bring structure and confidence to complex projects. When challenges arise, you will identify them early, communicate them clearly and develop creative but practical solutions. You will provide concise project reporting to senior stakeholders and continue to improve the processes that support design development and delivery.
Your background will include strong experience in architectural project delivery, together with an excellent technical understanding of construction and construction-management processes. You will understand how to translate high-level creative designs into completed spaces without losing the detail, quality or intent that made the original concept special.
Experience within a luxury or premium brand environment is essential, along with the ability to manage multiple projects in a busy, fast-moving setting. You will also understand the importance of maintaining brand identity throughout every interaction and decision. Previous automotive experience, or experience representing a brand to high-end external partners, would be valuable but is not essential.
You will hold an architectural qualification and be able to adapt complex architectural and technical information for different audiences. Whether you are speaking with designers, developers, contractors or clients, you will communicate with clarity, confidence and respect. You will be comfortable leading meetings, keeping conversations focused and constructively challenging decisions when design quality or brand standards could be affected.
Above all, you will bring a positive and collaborative approach. You will be organised, proactive and comfortable working under pressure, with the judgement to balance creative ambition against feasibility, regulation and budget. You will help those around you feel confident in the project’s direction while remaining focused on delivering the right result.
The role is primarily based in Gaydon and follows a 39-hour working week. Flexibility will be required to support meetings across different time zones, alongside local and international travel when projects require it.
If you are excited by the challenge of turning exceptional design into exceptional spaces, this could be your opportunity to leave a lasting mark on how the Aston Martin brand is experienced around the world.
Bring your technical expertise, delivery experience and appreciation for luxury design. Help us turn bold architectural ideas into reality.
