About Regolith Ecological Solutions
At Regolith Ecological Solutions, we work at the intersection of ecological
architecture and responsible construction. We specialize in alternative materials,
natural building systems, and regenerative design strategies that respond sensitively
to place, culture, and environment. As a sister concern of Beforest Lifestyle
Solutions, our projects are rooted in sustainability, community, and systemic thinking.
We are looking for a Junior Architect who can seamlessly connect
architectural design to site execution, enabling construction that is ecologically
conscious, practically feasible, and aesthetically rooted.
Role Overview
This role combines on-site design interpretation, construction administration,
and team coordination. The Junior Architect plays a pivotal role in ensuring
that designs are translated effectively on-ground, workers are aligned with the
intent, and site decisions are made with ecological intelligence.
You must be able to work with craftspeople, understand the constraints and
opportunities of material behavior, and propose solutions that honor both design
quality and site realities.
Key Responsibilities
1. Architectural Execution & Supervision
• Supervise and guide on-site architectural and interior works, ensuring quality
and adherence to ecological principles.
• Review and adapt detailing during execution based on material behavior and
environmental factors.
2. Design Understanding & Translation
• Interpret architectural and structural drawings; communicate spatial intent and
joinery logic to workers and contractors.
• Identify and resolve on-ground conflicts with clarity and speed, consulting with
the design team as needed.
3. Site-Level Design Feedback
• Provide structured feedback to design architects based on construction
behavior, worker inputs, or contextual conditions.
• Document practical learnings to improve design-to-build processes.
4. Construction Management & Workforce Coordination
• Plan and manage daily construction workflows across trades.
• Assign tasks to masons, carpenters, and labor teams based on design
requirements and work sequencing.
• Monitor material use, labor productivity, and on-site execution quality.
5. Ecological Building Techniques
• Ensure site teams implement techniques like CSEB, lime plaster, mud walls,
bamboo joinery, etc., appropriately.
• Train or orient new teams on ecological construction practices where needed.
6. Stakeholder Collaboration
• Coordinate with consultants, project managers, vendors, and procurement
teams to align resources with project progress.
• Conduct or assist in site meetings, walkthroughs, and client visits.
7. Reporting & Documentation
• Maintain daily site logs, progress reports, issue trackers, and photo
documentation.
• Verify BOQs, track as-built modifications, and support record drawings.
8. Site Safety & Sustainability Compliance
• Enforce site safety practices and ensure work is done with minimal ecological
disruption.
• Lead by example in upholding environmental and material responsibility.
Required Qualifications & Skills
• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture (B.Arch)
• 1–3 years of hands-on site experience, preferably in sustainable or
residential construction
• Proficiency in Revit is mandatory — this is our core design platform and not
optional
• Strong working knowledge of construction drawings, detailing, and material
behavior
• Additional skills in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and MS Office are Must
• Strong visual and verbal communication to interface with both designers and
site workers
• Familiarity with alternative techniques (CSEB, lime plaster, mud walls) is a
significant advantage
• Proactive, grounded, and sensitive to place, people, and material
Preferred Attributes
• A love for hands-on building and material experimentation
• Deep respect for craft and the intelligence of traditional techniques
• Comfort working in rural, community-based, or non-conventional settings
• Leadership and humility to work collaboratively with labor teams, artisans, and
engineers alike
