Technical Architect -Luxury hospitality- (EMEA)

We are looking for a technically strong and detail-oriented architect to join our design team within the real estate development business, focusing on boutique hospitality assets.

In this role, you will be responsible for translating the design intent into fully coordinated, precise, and buildable documentation. You will work across all design stages with a focus on technical development - from RIBA Stage 3 through construction, ensuring that the project’s quality, constructability, and coordination are preserved throughout. You will collaborate with the broader design and engineering team and serve as a key point of contact for design problem-solving, system integration, and detailing.

This role is focused on the later design phases. Personal engagement in RIBA 3-5 will be around 75%, with early-stage design support and feasibility input up to 25%.

We expect you to be highly proficient in Revit (including parametric families, freeform modeling, and terrain modeling), with strong BIM coordination experience. You should also have a solid understanding of construction methodologies, materials, detailing, and multi-disciplinary integration. Experience with Navisworks is required; Rhino, AutoCAD, and Enscape are a plus.

To succeed in this role, you should be independent, analytical, proactive in solving technical and coordination challenges, and capable of consistently delivering high-quality, buildable design packages. Fluency in English is essential.
