Senior Architect Residential Construction

This is not a drafting-only position. We are looking for someone with strong design judgement, technical detailing, client-handling ability and hands-on understanding of how drawings translate into actual construction.

Candidates who have independently handled premium residences, villas, duplex/triplex homes or similar residential projects will be strongly preferred.

• Coordinate material, finish and faade selections where required.

• Guide junior architects/draftsmen where required.
• Ensure drawings and design deliverables are completed according to project timelines.
