Mae gan Bensaer y Gadeirlan gyfrifoldeb cyffredinol dros ofalu am ffabrig yr Eglwys Gadeiriol, gan gynnwys yr adeilad, ei chynnwys, ei dodrefn a’i amgylchfyd. Er na fyddant yn arbenigwr ym mhob maes, disgwylir iddynt adnabod pryd mae angen arbenigedd ac i gynnwys yr ymgynghorwyr priodol.
Maent yn goruchwylio pob gwaith atgyweirio a chadwraeth i’r Gadeirlan ac deiladau cysylltiedig, yn ogystal ag unrhyw waith cynnal a allai effeithio’n sylweddol neu’n barhaol ar y ffabrig. Maent yn darparu cyngor ar bob agwedd o’r ffabrig, gan gynnwys ei hymddangosiad a’i chymeriad, ac yn dod â chyfuniad o arbenigedd technegol a sensitifrwydd i etifeddiaeth, dyluniad a chyd-destun.
Ar gyfer prosiectau adeiladu newydd sylweddol, dylid defnyddio proses ddethol agored er mwyn penodi’r pensaer mwyaf addas. Rhaid cynnwys Pensaer y Gadeirlan wrth ddatblygu'r briff a chaiff ei ymgynghori cyn penodi unrhyw ddylunwyr allanol. Maent yn gweithredu fel gwarchodwyr ffabrig yr Eglwys Gadeiriol drwy gydol prosiectau o’r fath, gan sicrhau parhad a chywirdeb.
Bydd Pensaer y Gadeirlan fel rheol yn gweithredu fel prif ymgynghorydd ar brosiectau atgyweirio a chadwraeth, gan weithio gydag ymgynghorwyr proffesiynol eraill yn ôl yr angen. Rhaid i’r Cabidwl sicrhau cynhelir archwiliad pum mlynedd, a chyflawnir hwn gan Bensaer y Gadeirlan.
Maent yn aelod canolog o dîm proffesiynol y Gadeirlan ac fe ddisgwylir iddynt fynychu cyfarfodydd y Pwyllgor Ymgynghorol Esgobaethol (DAC) pan fydd materion sy’n ymwneud â’r Gadeirlan ar yr agenda, oni wneir trefniant arall.

Disgrifiad o’r Rôl
The Cathedral Architect has overall responsibility for the care of the Cathedral’s fabric, including the building, its contents, furnishings and setting. While they will not be a specialist in every area, they are expected to recognise when specialist advice is needed and to involve the appropriate experts.
They oversee all repair and conservation work to the Cathedral and associated buildings, as well as any maintenance that could significantly affect or permanently change the fabric. They provide advice on all aspects of the fabric, including its appearance and character, and bring both technical expertise and sensitivity to heritage, design and context.
For major new building or significant projects, an open selection process should be used to appoint the most suitable architect. The Cathedral Architect must be involved in developing the brief and consulted before any external designers are appointed. They act as a guardian of the Cathedral’s fabric throughout such projects, helping to ensure continuity and integrity.
The Cathedral Architect will normally act as lead consultant on repair and conservation projects, working with other professional advisers as needed. The Chapter must ensure a quinquennial inspection is carried out. This will be undertaken by the Cathedral Architect.
They are a central member of the Cathedral’s professional team and expected to attend Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) meetings when Cathedral matters are on the agenda, unless otherwise agreed.
Application process
Applications should be sent by email to Tomos Dobson, Operations Manager, Bangor Cathedral. TomosDobson@churchinwales.org.uk
Applications should include two references from previous or current clients.
Arrangements for informal visits prior to application can be made through the Cathedral Office. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to visit the Cathedral for interview, with a short task set in advance to form the basis of a presentation.
