• Evaluate and interpret client needs, translating them into clear design concepts and proposals.

Collaboration with Cross-Disciplinary Teams:

• Work closely with civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers to ensure architectural designs are well-integrated with other disciplines.
• Coordinate with project managers, contractors, and other design professionals to ensure project goals and timelines are met.
• Ensure that design plans adhere to zoning laws, local building codes, and environmental standards.
• Actively participate in project meetings, providing updates on design progress and addressing any technical challenges.

Design Development and Documentation:

• Develop detailed design specifications, plans, and documentation for the project's execution phase.
• Review and approve design modifications, ensuring they remain in line with the overall vision and client specifications.
• Ensure that all design documents are up-to-date and compliant with local and international codes and regulations.
• Prepare presentations and reports for clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities, detailing design concepts, progress, and any changes.

Project Management Support:

• Support project management teams in defining the project scope, budget, and schedule.
• Assist in the preparation of project proposals, including cost estimates, timelines, and resource requirements.
• Ensure that design aspects of the project stay within the defined scope, are completed on time, and meet all quality standards.
• Provide technical support and guidance during the construction and implementation phases, ensuring that the design intent is maintained.

Quality Control and Compliance:

• Conduct regular design reviews and quality checks to ensure that all design outputs are accurate, functional, and compliant with industry standards.
• Ensure that all designs are environmentally sustainable, including incorporating energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions where possible.
• Stay informed of industry trends, innovations, and changes in building regulations to ensure the design meets the latest standards and practices.
• Ensure all safety standards, accessibility requirements, and regulations are met throughout the design process.

Sustainability and Innovation:

• Integrate sustainable design principles into architectural projects, considering energy efficiency, environmental impact, and resource conservation.
• Explore and recommend innovative design techniques, materials, and technologies to enhance building performance and aesthetics.
• Advise on green building certifications (e.g., LEED, BREEAM) and guide projects through the certification process.

Client Engagement and Communication:

• Regularly communicate with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and constraints, translating these into design solutions.
• Provide clear explanations of design concepts, addressing client feedback, concerns, and questions effectively.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, ensuring that their expectations are met throughout the design process.

Qualifications:
