You should also have a solid understanding of construction methodologies, materials, detailing, and multi-disciplinary integration.

  • Translate concept and schematic designs into coordinated, buildable Revit models and documentation packages across RIBA Stages 3–5
  • Develop precise technical layouts, assemblies, and details in Revit, ensuring consistency with design intent, constructability, and regulatory requirements
  • Coordinate architectural models with structural, MEP, and interior design inputs using BIM workflows and Navisworks
  • Review, resolve, and prevent coordination issues across disciplines; propose feasible, well-integrated technical solutions
  • Build and manage project typologies, families, and detail libraries to support efficient design development and standardization
  • Support tender and construction documentation preparation, ensuring alignment with specifications, codes, and local regulations
  • Assist in the development of project-specific systems and façade/roof/technical typologies based on construction logic and material performance
  • Provide quality control on Revit models and documentation across the team; conduct technical reviews and flag risks early
  • Collaborate with the procurement team on technical inputs related to material quantities, specifications, and product compatibility
  • Stay up to date with building systems, construction methods, and BIM automation tools; research and implement best practices in technical design
  • Supervise and guide BIM modelers and junior technical staff; support in building department-wide technical workflows and standards

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Architecture.
  • 5 to 10 years of experience in architectural design.
