  • Ensure full compliance with local building codes, regulations, and industry standards
  • Act as the key liaison between clients, consultants, contractors, and internal teams
  • 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

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture or related field
  • Minimum 5–8 years’ experience in architecture, with strong exposure to design & build projects
  • Registered Architect / Professional membership is highly preferred
  • Proven experience managing projects independently from concept to completion
  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit/ArchiCAD, SketchUp, and 3D visualization tools
  • In-depth knowledge of building codes, approvals, and regulatory requirements

Key Competencies

  • Strong leadership presence and ability to command authority on projects and sites
  • Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills
  • Decisive, confident, and solution-oriented
  • High level of professionalism and accountability
  • Strong project management and organizational skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and design quality

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
