A design-led interior architecture studio in Gurugram is hiring an architect to run the Design Development stage of its projects. Once the concept and schematic design are approved, this person carries them through to detailed, site-ready drawings and keeps execution on track at site.
This is a Design Development seat, not a concept role.
What You'll Do
- Take handover of an approved schematic design and run Design Development independently
- Produce detailed 2D drawings, details, 3D views and construction documentation
- Bring MEP and consultant inputs into the drawings and resolve clashes before they reach site
- Handle one to two sites: coordinate site supervisors, contractors and vendors
- Source materials and finishes, and prepare mood boards and sample collections with the team
- Allocate work to junior team members and review their drawings before approval
- Support team leads in client meetings and presentations
Must Have
- B.Arch (5-year); a strong candidate with a 4-year degree or diploma will also be considered
- 4 years of experience in architecture or interior architecture practice
- Hands-on Design Development on at least one project, from schematic design to detailed drawings
- Experience across at least two typologies: residential, commercial, retail, hospitality or mixed-use
- Construction documentation, detailing, MEP integration and site coordination on live projects
- Working fluency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop and Microsoft Office
- Fluent in English and Hindi
- Able to join within two weeks
Good to Have
- Experience in a design-led practice with a structured review culture
- Exposure to sustainability standards on live projects
- Experience guiding one or two junior team members
Not a Fit If
- You have 5 or more years of experience; this role is pitched at the 4-year level
- Your work has been drafting support only, with no project phase carried yourself
- Your experience is concept or visualisation only, with no detailing or site exposure
- Your salary expectation is above ₹70,000 per month
- You cannot join within two weeks
Compensation
₹60,000-70,000 per month (₹7.20-8.40 LPA), offer nearer ₹60,000. Work from office, Gurugram, 5 days a week, 9:15 AM to 6:45 PM.
