Your mission
We are looking for an experienced Architect (m/f/d) to join our Design & Engineering team and play a key role in the design development, coordination, and technical execution of exhibition fit-out projects. Working at the interface of design, engineering, and construction, the Architect ensures that creative exhibition concepts are transformed into buildable, compliant, and coordinated solutions, from schematic design to site implementation. The position requires close collaboration with internal design, AV/lighting, and fit-out teams, as well as external consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate exhibition design concepts into coordinated architectural drawings and construction details.
- Develop layouts, sections, elevations, and 3D models in alignment with client requirements and technical constraints.
- Coordinate with AVL (Audio, Video, Lighting), structural, MEP, and interior design disciplines.
- Prepare tender and construction documentation, including material specifications and schedules.
- Participate in design-assist processes, technical reviews, and value engineering.
- Support design managers and fit-out managers during procurement and construction phases.
- Provide continuous design support to the Fit-Out Manager during execution to ensure alignment with design intent and quality standards.
- Conduct site visits to review construction progress and resolve design or coordination issues.
- Ensure compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and standards.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of templates, workflows, and BIM standards.
- Contribute to cost estimation and budgeting during design development, ensuring design decisions remain feasible within defined cost targets.
- Prepare or support quantity take-offs and coordinate with estimators to obtain and compare supplier or subcontractor offers for design-related packages.
- Participate in value engineering discussions and recommend materials or methods that balance quality, aesthetics, and budget.
- Support cost control by aligning design updates with budget implications throughout the project phases.
Your profile
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture.
- 2+ years of experience in architectural design and/or exhibition fit-out projects (pavilions, experience centers, museums, or similar environments).
- Strong command of Vectorworks or AutoCAD, Revit/BIM, and 3D visualization tools (Rhino, SketchUp, or similar), as well as Excel. MS Project is an advantage.
- Fluent in English and German (written and spoken).
- Solid understanding of materials, finishes, fabrication methods, and detailing for temporary and permanent exhibition structures.
- Experience with design-assist or design-build project environments is an advantage.
- Strong awareness of budgeting and cost control within design processes.
- Experience reviewing supplier quotations and coordinating with estimation or procurement teams is an advantage.
- Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams and under tight deadlines.
- Solution-oriented and pragmatic mindset.
- Structured and detail-focused approach.
