Working with us
Join a friendly, close-knit team where architecture and structural engineering sit side by side: working on a huge variety of residential and commercial projects, from first sketch to finished building.
A great place to build your career
CR Design Services is a design practice bringing architecture and structural engineering together under one roof. That means the people who work here get to see projects from every angle: from a homeowner’s first idea, through concept design and planning, to the technical drawings and structural calculations that make it real.
We are a supportive team who take real pride in our work, our five-star reputation and looking after our clients. If that sounds like the kind of place you would like to work, we would love to hear from you.
What it’s like to work with us
Architects, technologists and structural engineers work as one team, so you learn across disciplines instead of working in a silo.
Extensions, conversions, new builds, barn conversions and commercial schemes: no two projects are the same, and you see them through from start to finish.
We work efficiently with modern tools and video collaboration, and offer flexible, remote-friendly working around our Durham base.
We support ongoing professional development and encourage you to broaden your skills and progress within the team.
A friendly, down-to-earth group who back each other up, share knowledge and genuinely enjoy the work.
You help people transform their homes and buildings, and see the difference good design makes to real projects.
The roles we hire for
We are always interested to hear from talented, motivated people across our disciplines. Depending on current needs, that includes:
- Architects and architectural technologists / technicians
- Structural engineers and technicians
- CAD and technical drawing specialists
- Client support and studio administration
Don’t see your exact role? If you have the skills and the right attitude, we would still like to hear from you.
