Role Overview

The Architecture Engineer provides owner-side assurance for all architectural elements during the handover and O&M readiness phases of a highly complex, national-scale infrastructure project.

The role ensures that architectural systems, spaces, finishes, and building envelopes are safe, compliant, maintainable, and aligned with long-term operational requirements.

The engineer participates in risk-based walkdowns, validates as-built documentation, supports integration with existing facilities, and provides recommendations to enhance operational efficiency, lifecycle performance, and future adaptability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct architectural walkdowns with Consultants and EPC to verify installation quality, maintainability, and compliance.
  • Prepare handover review reports highlighting deviations, incomplete works, and O&M impacts.
  • Validate that architectural works comply with approved designs, specifications, and statutory requirements.
  • Assess space planning, circulation, and equipment access to support operational efficiency.
  • Identify constraints such as insufficient clearances and unsafe access routes.
  • Review exit routes, signage, fire-rated assemblies, accessibility requirements, and architectural barriers.
  • Recommend corrective actions for non-compliant or high-risk conditions.
  • Evaluate architectural elements for long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
  • Recommend improvements to support safe access and maintenance activities.
  • Coordinate with Civil/Structural Engineers to ensure site grading, drainage, and penetrations do not compromise building envelopes.
  • Coordinate with MEP and BMS/SCADA teams to ensure architectural provisions support equipment access, ventilation, and future maintenance.
  • Support BIM and CAFM teams by validating architectural as-built models for FM usability.
  • Review IFC drawings, as-built drawings, BIM models, and material submittals for accuracy and completeness.
  • Ensure architectural documentation aligns with asset registers and O&M manuals.
  • Support document control activities to ensure traceability and compliance.
  • Support coordination with local authorities for architectural and life-safety approvals.
  • Provide technical briefings to O&M teams on architectural constraints, space reallocation, and operational considerations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Architectural Engineering, or Civil Engineering.
  • Proficiency in reviewing architectural drawings, specifications, and BIM models (Revit and Navisworks preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to balance aesthetics, functionality, maintainability, and lifecycle performance.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder coordination skills, particularly in multi-consultant environments.

Experience

  • 10–12 years of experience in building design, commissioning, handover management, and O&M-oriented reviews.
  • Experience in mega-projects such as airports, hospitals, large campuses, and national infrastructure developments.

Certifications (Preferred)

  • Proficiency in BIM platforms, particularly Revit and Navisworks.
  • Professional certifications related to Architecture, Facilities Management, Asset Management, or Project Management are considered an advantage.
  • Additional training in life-safety, accessibility standards, or building envelope systems is preferred.

Desired Skills

  • Architectural Design
  • Architectural Reviews and Inspections
  • Building Handover and O&M Readiness
  • Building Codes and Regulatory Compliance
  • Space Planning and Accessibility Assessment
  • Building Envelope and Finishes Evaluation
  • BIM Model Review (Revit and Navisworks)
  • Technical Reporting and Documentation
  • Problem Solving and Risk Identification
  • Stakeholder Coordination and Communication
  • Multi-disciplinary Coordination
  • Attention to Detail
