  • Drive project timelines, budgets, and quality standards
  • Conduct site visits and enforce design integrity during construction
  • Review and approve drawings, materials, and finishes
  • Mentor junior team members and provide technical leadership
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture or related field
  • Minimum 5–8 years’ experience in architecture, with strong exposure to design & build projects

  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit/ArchiCAD, SketchUp, and 3D visualization tools
  • In-depth knowledge of building codes, approvals, and regulatory requirements

What We Are Looking For

  • A mature professional who can take ownership and lead without constant supervision
  • Someone confident in handling high-level clients and complex projects
  • A results-driven individual with a strong sense of responsibility and delivery

🚨 Before You Apply for This Job… Is Your CV Ready For The Competition?

This job will attract 1000+ applicants. Sadly, many qualified professionals miss out on interviews — not because they lack experience, but because their CV does not clearly demonstrate why they qualify for this specific job.
You may be qualified. But if your CV is too generic, outdated, or not aligned to the job requirements, you’ll not be shortlisted.
Using the same CV for every application also rarely works.
And while many candidates are now using AI to rewrite their CVs, polished wording alone does not guarantee interviews.
AI can write your CV. We know what gets shortlisted.
