Project Architect
You detail. You design. You deliver.
We're looking for you!
7–10 Years Experience
We are looking for a Project Architect who owns a project from brief to handover, leading design development, technical resolution, and delivery with authority and integrity. You will be the central point of coordination between the design team, consultants, clients, and authorities, ensuring every stage is resolved, documented, and delivered to standard. Revit fluency is essential, not only as a production tool, but as the backbone of how a project is managed, coordinated, and controlled.
Experience leading villa and tower projects through to construction is a prerequisite.
Senior leadership sets the direction; the expectation is that you will carry the project.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead projects end-to-end, from concept and schematic design through detailed design, authority approvals, tender, and construction stage
- Own the design vision of each project, establishing the concept, narrative, and design language and carrying them consistently from first sketch to completed building
- Lead concept generation and design exploration, setting creative direction for the team and driving the design through iterative review
- Define and uphold the studio's design language across projects, ensuring every output reflects a coherent architectural identity
- Act as the design authority on the project, making final calls on design decisions, materials, and detailing, and protecting design intent against cost, programme, and consultant pressures
- Lead internal design reviews and critiques, raising the quality of thinking across the team
- Curate materiality, façade expression, and spatial quality, working closely with interior, landscape, and specialist consultants to keep the design unified
- Own the project programme: set deliverables, manage deadlines, and keep the team on schedule
- Direct and mentor a project team of architects and designers, reviewing their output for quality, accuracy, and design intent
- Oversee Revit model strategy, including setup, standards, worksets, families, and federated coordination with structural, MEP, and interior consultants
- Lead consultant coordination and clash resolution, driving decisions rather than waiting for them
- Prepare and manage authority submissions and approvals within GCC regulatory frameworks
- Review and sign off complete drawing sets for villa and multi-storey tower typologies before issue
- Lead client and consultant meetings; present, defend, and articulate design decisions with confidence
- Provide technical support during tender and construction, including RFIs, shop drawing reviews, site visits, and variation assessment
- Identify risks early (design, technical, programme, or commercial) and bring solutions along with the problem
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture
- 7-10 years of professional experience within an architectural practice, with at least 3–4 years in a project lead role
- Proven delivery of villa and mid-to-high-rise tower projects, ideally through to completion on site
- Demonstrated ability to manage a project team, programme, and client relationship independently
- Revit proficiency is non-negotiable: model setup, families, parameters, schedules, worksharing, and BIM coordination workflows
- Strong working knowledge of GCC authority submission requirements and local building codes in the UAE
- 3D visualisation tools (Enscape, Lumion, or equivalent) are a plus
What We Look For
- Leadership: you set the standard for your team and hold it
- Technical precision: detail matters here at every scale, and you are the final check
- Design sensitivity: the ability to protect and carry intent through every stage, from sketch to site
- Ownership: of the brief, the programme, the team, and the outcome
- Resourceful: no brief is too complex, no constraint too tight
- All In: we believe in the work we are building together. Every project, every detail, every decision is fully committed, with no half measures.
Why Work With Us
- Work remotely: work from anywhere, with flexible schedules and async-first collaboration
- Global team: collaborate with teammates across time zones, backgrounds, and perspectives
- Well compensated: competitive pay with clear growth paths and performance-based upside
- Ownership in business: take real ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, and shape design and project decisions
- Innovation & growth: work on meaningful problems, experiment often, and grow your skills quickly
- Inspiring teammates: work with driven, thoughtful people who raise the bar and support each other
