Life at AHR
Hybrid and flexible working
While connectivity is essential in building relationships with our clients and among our team, we also value the importance of work life balance and offer a range of hybrid, agile and flexible working options – so that we can help make work, work for you. We are continually exploring ways to maximise this flexibility across our office locations and home working, while delivering excellent client service and building team spirit.
Health and wellbeing
We aim to provide a supportive team environment that helps people overcome any challenges they may face, both inside and outside of the workplace. As part of our commitment to this we have provided training for Mental Health First Aiders and appointed 22 Wellbeing Champions across our business, dedicated to leading initiatives across four key pillars of wellbeing: financial, mental & emotional, physical and social.
Diversity and inclusion
We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is welcome and able to be their true self. Led by our dedicated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Group, this runs throughout our entire employee experience – from recruitment to career development. By celebrating diversity in all its forms, along with the uniqueness of our colleagues, we unlock creativity and innovation, as well as better reflecting the communities that we work in.
What our people say
"AHR encouraged me to follow my passion in sustainable and environmental design. I was supported through my Passive House Designer certification, which I’ve been able to apply on REA projects. There is a great interactive company culture where knowledge is shared across the business. I have enjoyed the range of challenges presented to me and have continued to learn and grow as an architect since joining AHR 5 years ago."
Andrew Wilson, Associate
"This my second career. I completed my HNC in construction as a mature student allowing me to jump on to the second year of my Building Surveying degree. Since joining AHR a year ago, I have been encouraged to complete my APC with support and mentoring from my colleagues. Everyone at AHR is friendly and I have been able to meet a wide range of people due to the many social events that the company hold."
Natasha Trew, Graduate Building Surveyor
"I was initially drawn to AHR by the opportunities presented, not only in developing my career but also to develop the landscape offer. Our office is a very open, generous space and there are a lot of occasions for us to socialise both inside and outside of work. You’ll find us in the heart of Bristol and what I find most thrilling about the job is the chance to make real positive change in the city where I live and work and across the UK."
David King, Associate, Landscape Design
"My experience so far has been really positive and I'm grateful to my colleagues who throughout my Part I have played a key role in preparing me for my apprenticeship. By giving me support, guidance and creating a friendly and collaborative atmosphere to learn in, I feel confident in completing my apprenticeship with AHR."
