Requirements
- A minimum of 8–10 years of professional experience in architecture with significant exposure to hospitality, hotel, or high-quality branded residential projects. Candidates with 6–8 years will be considered where their site experience is demonstrably strong.
- Proven experience in a site-based construction delivery role – reviewing shop drawings, responding to RFIs, conducting site inspections, and managing snagging on a live construction project.
- Experience on the contractor side alone will not be sufficient; we are looking for someone who has worked as the designer’s or client’s representative on site.
- Strong technical knowledge of architectural construction detailing, material specifications, and build quality standards.
- A discerning eye for design quality. This role sits within a company that builds hospitality-grade residential product, and the candidate must understand what “good” looks like in that context.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear, well-structured formal responses to RFIs and submittals.
- Experience is international – we value candidates who have worked on equivalent projects outside the UAE, provided they are comfortable operating in a fast-paced Gulf construction environment.
- Degree in Architecture.
- Professional registration (ARB, RIBA, AIA, or equivalent) is an advantage but not a requirement.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating delivered hospitality or high-end residential projects is essential and must be submitted with application.
