• Participate in building a team, including networking and developing relationships with contacts in Oman with a view of establishing a permanent office.

Skills & Experience

• Architectural qualifications PtIII or equivalent.
• Share the same architectural values as the practice and have an international mindset and portfolio.
• Proven design skills and creative vision, coupled with a high level of technical expertise and examples of past built work.
• Proficiency in Revit and proven ability to oversee others in the efficient production of drawings and technical information.
• People management skills essential, of both internal and external teams.
• A confident personality that can communicate and engage at all levels.
• Knowledge of local contacts is ideal although not essential; willingness to participate in business development is essential.
• All paid travel, including accommodation.
• Assistance with Visa process.
• Possible opportunity for fast-tracked promotions.
