## Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Design Architect to join a highly regarded architectural practice in Dubai, working on a portfolio of high-end hospitality, residential and mixed-use developments across the UAE.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented architect who thrives in the early design stages, with a strong eye for design, excellent conceptual thinking and the ability to develop compelling architectural ideas into well-resolved design proposals. You will play a key role from pre-concept through concept and schematic design, working alongside senior designers, architects, consultants and clients to create distinctive, commercially successful projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and contribute to pre-concept, concept and schematic design stages across hospitality, residential and mixed-use projects.

• Develop strong architectural concepts, design narratives and creative strategies.

• Translate initial ideas into compelling architectural proposals, presentations and design packages.

• Produce and oversee high-quality drawings, diagrams, plans, elevations and 3D studies.

• Work closely with Design Directors, Associates and project teams to develop and refine design solutions.

• Coordinate with external consultants and ensure design intent is maintained throughout the project.

• Present design proposals to clients and stakeholders, helping to communicate the architectural vision.

• Contribute to design development, materiality, façade concepts and overall project aesthetics.

• Mentor and support junior architects and designers within the team.

• Ensure projects meet the required design, quality and technical standards.

Ideally, you will have:

• 12+ years' architectural experience, with a strong focus on design.

• Significant experience across pre-concept, concept and schematic design.

• A strong portfolio covering luxury hospitality, high-end residential and/or mixed-use developments.

• Excellent conceptual and creative design skills.

• Strong architectural presentation and communication abilities.

• The ability to develop ideas from initial concept through to a well-resolved schematic design.

• Experience working within an international architectural or design practice.

• Gulf / Middle East experience is preferred, but is not essential for candidates with an exceptional portfolio and strong international experience.

• Strong knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit and Adobe Creative Suite; 3D modelling skills would be advantageous.

• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders and clients.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established architectural practice in Dubai and work on a growing portfolio of high-profile hotel and residential developments across the UAE.
