Interior Designer
As an Interior Designer, you would make the inside of buildings look great and work well for the people using them. You would choose colours, furniture and materials that suit the space and make it feel welcoming, professional or calming – depending on the project. You might design spaces like hospital waiting rooms, school libraries or offices. You would work closely with architects and clients, using software to show how your ideas will look. You would need a good eye for detail, creativity, and the ability to turn ideas into real spaces people love.
Landscape Architect
As a Landscape Architect, you would design outdoor spaces that are beautiful, safe and good for the environment. You might work on parks, school grounds, hospital gardens or city centre spaces – planning where trees, paths, benches and planting go. You would use maps, drawings and digital tools to bring your designs to life, making sure they work for everyone. Your work helps people enjoy nature and makes cities greener and healthier. You would need creativity, planning skills and a strong interest in how people and nature connect.
Architect
As an Architect, you would design buildings that are safe, useful and inspiring to look at. You might work on schools, hospitals, homes or city landmarks. You would meet with clients to understand what they need, sketch out your ideas, then create detailed drawings using special design software. You would also visit building sites to check everything is being built as planned. Architects need to be creative, good at problem-solving and able to explain their ideas clearly. You would help shape the places where people live, learn and work – bringing buildings to life from the ground up.
Graphic Designer
As a Graphic Designer, you would use your creativity to design visuals that help share messages, ideas and identities. You might work on things like logos, posters, websites or design layouts for reports and presentations. You would use colours, shapes and fonts to make your work stand out and feel just right for the audience. At HLM Architects, you would help show off exciting designs and projects in a clear and eye-catching way. You would need to be creative, work well with others and enjoy using digital tools to turn ideas into visual stories.
Human Resources Manager
As a Human Resources Manager, you would help make sure the workplace runs smoothly and supports the people who work there. You would help recruit new staff, organise training and support people with any issues at work. You might also help make sure everyone feels included and treated fairly. In a company like HLM Architects, you would help build a strong, happy team who enjoy their jobs and grow their careers. You would need to be organised, a great communicator and someone who enjoys helping others thrive.
