The Architect provides the technical bridge between design intent and coordinated project documentation. Working under the oversight of the Supervising Architect, the position takes ownership of complex architectural assignments while maintaining alignment between calculations, specifications, drawings, BIM information, regulatory requirements, and multidisciplinary engineering inputs. The role has a direct impact on design accuracy and constructability. Effective coordination with architectural, engineering, drafting, and project teams helps identify inconsistencies before they affect downstream delivery, while disciplined technical review protects quality across drawing and documentation packages.

In addition to project responsibilities, the Architect contributes to team capability by mentoring assigned architectural and drafting personnel and reinforcing consistent technical standards.

• Develop detailed architectural specifications, technical reports, schedules, data tables, and supporting project documentation.
• Interpret project requirements and translate design concepts into coordinated technical information suitable for project delivery.
• Prepare architectural drawings and review documentation produced by architectural and drafting teams.
• Approve architectural drawings within delegated authority and established quality control procedures.
• Verify that drawings, specifications, schedules, and technical information remain consistent across design packages.
• Coordinate closely with design and drafting personnel to resolve technical issues and maintain documentation accuracy.
• Undertake advanced architectural assignments independently while working within approved project scope, programme, and budget parameters.
• Apply applicable building regulations, architectural standards, project criteria, and technical requirements throughout the design process.
• Coordinate architectural interfaces with structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and other specialist disciplines.
• Identify design conflicts and documentation gaps and drive their resolution through multidisciplinary coordination.
• Support BIM-based project delivery and maintain alignment between architectural models, drawings, and technical requirements.
• Participate in technical design reviews and contribute practical solutions to complex architectural challenges.
• Monitor assigned deliverables against project schedules and communicate risks that could affect timely completion.
• Maintain organized technical records and ensure architectural documentation follows established project procedures.
• Coordinate technical and administrative activities between departments to support integrated project delivery.
• Communicate design requirements clearly to internal teams and relevant project stakeholders.
• Provide technical guidance to architects, designers, and drafting personnel assigned to project activities.
• Train and mentor less experienced team members in architectural documentation, design coordination, and quality expectations.
• Contribute to performance evaluations and professional development of assigned architectural personnel.
• Support consistent application of design quality procedures across architectural deliverables.

Candidates should hold a Bachelor 's degree in Architecture from an accredited institution, with a Master 's degree in Architecture or a related discipline considered advantageous. The position requires approximately 6-10 years of professional architectural experience with progressive responsibility across design development, technical documentation, multidisciplinary coordination, and project delivery.
