Architect

Description

The Architect will be a key member of the Project Delivery Team, responsible for design management, technical coordination, and quality oversight across prestigious developments including a 5-star heritage-themed luxury hotel, large master-planned villa communities, and high-rise residential/mixed-use towers. In addition, the role requires handling in-house architectural and interior design (ID) works for relatively smaller projects, refurbishment of company assets, and adaptive reuse assignments.

This role requires strong technical expertise, design sensitivity, and project execution knowledge to ensure timely delivery of high-quality, cost-efficient, and design-compliant outcomes. The Architect will act as a bridge between design and execution, ensuring projects are aesthetically outstanding, technically sound, cost-efficient, and timely delivered, with due respect to heritage and contemporary design standards.
