Job Purpose:
The Senior Architect will be responsible for translating design concepts into technically coordinated buildable solutions that align with project requirements and design intent. This role bridges the gap between design intent and site execution, safeguarding quality, constructability, cost efficiency, and project specifications, aesthetic goals, and quality standards. The architect will work closely with the Consultant (ID team), FF&E Engineers and other stakeholders, to ensure the seamless integration of architectural details with site execution. The role demands strong design sensibility, technical accuracy, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to maintain both aesthetic and functional standards across all project phases.
