Building spaces. Shaping careers. Making an impact.
At YMD Boon, we design, advise, and protect the built environment, and we invest just as much care in our people. Here you will enjoy flexible working, clear progression, and the chance to see your work make a real difference. You will work on projects you can be proud of, in a business where your voice is heard and your development is genuinely supported.
At YMD Boon, our architects, surveyors, and safety professionals work side by side with flexibility, support, and visibility over the impact they make every day.
Building, investing and growing for the long-term.
Our focus is on steady, sustainable growth rather than rapid expansion. We are building a company which remains commercially robust while offering people the opportunity to develop meaningful, long term careers. In practical terms, this means continuing to strengthen our existing team and, when the time is right, expanding further.
As the business grows, so do opportunities for progression into Senior Leadership roles. These roles support project delivery, business development, continuous improvement, and mentorship across the team. Our Senior Leadership team plays a key role in shaping design quality, service quality, leadership culture, and the strategic direction of the company.
We take sustainable growth and succession planning seriously. Our long-standing client relationships, and new clients who join us through our reputation reflect this approach. At YMD Boon, progression is earned through the right attitude, strong work ethic, leadership qualities, and alignment with our values. Wherever possible, we are committed to promoting from within.
We believe this creates a stronger, more resilient company and allows our senior team to grow alongside the business, rather than being constrained with a fixed structure. We have built a great culture at YMD Boon, and we are committed to continuing to nurture it as we grow.
Supporting your lifestyle, wellbeing, and future, because great work deserves great rewards.
Lifestyle Perks
You will receive 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to five additional days.

On top of that, you can enjoy discounts on shopping, restaurants, and family experiences, alongside regular team days out.
Financial Perks
Our financial benefits are designed to support your future and reward your contribution. These include annual salary benchmarking, life assurance worth four times your salary, and employee referral schemes. You’ll also have access to a contributory pension scheme, private office parking, and financial support towards gaining relevant professional qualifications.
Wellbeing Perks
Looking after your wellbeing is a top priority. You’ll receive 100% cashback on a wide range of healthcare appointments, 24/7 access to a digital GP, and use of an NHS-approved mental wellbeing app. We also provide access to qualified physiotherapy consultations, free annual flu jabs, and a confidential Employee Assistance Programme to support your mental and physical health.
Career Development
We are passionate about supporting career progression, with many of our team developing through tailored training and internal promotions. We provide support for professional qualifications such as RIBA, CIAT, MRICS, IOSH or CIOB, along with opportunities for degree apprenticeships and graduate schemes to help you grow your career with us.
I enrolled onto the Architect Degree Apprenticeship (Level 7) at De Montfort University to gain my Part 2 & Part 3 certification whilst carrying out my role at YMD Boon as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant. The programme has been a fantastic opportunity for me to further my knowledge whilst gaining practical experience. YMD Boon has been very supportive of my degree apprenticeship, enabling me to manage my time effectively and supporting me financially. I’m extremely grateful for my apprenticeship mentor and fellow architects who are always on hand whenever I need advice.
Miles Lewis, Part 1 Architectural Assistant
Since completing my two-year part-time internship in Architectural Technology, I’ve grown into a full-time role within the Building Surveying team, taking on responsibilities in project management and contract administration across a range of education sector schemes. The trust and opportunities I’ve been given at YMD Boon have played a huge part in my development, and I’m grateful to be part of a team that continues to support and challenge me. I’ve learned a lot in these past two years, and I’m more motivated than ever to keep building on that foundation.
