Requirements

What we're looking for

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.

The role

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.

What you'll do

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%.

How you'll work

  • This is a full time day job with expected involvement up to 40 hours a week
  • This is a fully remote job
  • We work normal central European time zone (CET) working hours 9-17 or 10-18, we expect you to participate in daily team's meetings

Requirements

  • Work on a variety of high-end hospitality projects, with a focus on technical development, spatial coordination, and construction-level detailing
  • Translate concept and schematic designs into coordinated, buildable Revit models and documentation packages across RIBA Stages 3-5
  • Develop precise technical layouts, assemblies, and details in Revit, ensuring consistency with design intent, constructability, and regulatory requirements
  • Coordinate architectural models with structural, MEP, and interior design inputs using BIM workflows and Navisworks
  • Review, resolve, and prevent coordination issues across disciplines; propose feasible, well-integrated technical solutions
  • Build and manage project typologies, families, and detail libraries to support efficient design development and standardization
  • Support tender and construction documentation preparation, ensuring alignment with specifications, codes, and local regulations
  • Assist in the development of project-specific systems and façade/roof/technical typologies based on construction logic and material performance
  • Provide quality control on Revit models and documentation across the team; conduct technical reviews and flag risks early
  • Collaborate with the procurement team on technical inputs related to material quantities, specifications, and product compatibility
  • Stay up to date with building systems, construction methods, and BIM automation tools; research and implement best practices in technical design
  • Supervise and guide BIM modelers and junior technical staff; support in building department-wide technical workflows and standards
