• Produce precise layout specifications, scale drawings, and detailed plans reflecting accurate dimensions for all proposed signage and graphic installations.

Site Inspection & Technical Assessment

• Conduct initial site ocular inspections for proposed projects to assess physical space dimensions, structural requirements, and material suitability.

• Perform daily site ocular inspections for ongoing and installed projects to monitor the physical condition, functionality, and visual appeal of signages under the team's accountability.

• Apply technical understanding of floor plans, elevations, section plans, and architectural terminology to ensure seamless integration of designs with existing resort structures.

• Report real-time project status, operational risks, and design bottlenecks to superiors, ensuring timely escalation and necessary approvals.

Stakeholder Engagement & Administrative Support

• Participate in and present design concepts, technical proposals, and project deliberations during stakeholder meetings.

• Draft professional email communications, design briefs, and presentation materials for internal and external project collaborators.

• Provide ongoing technical and administrative support to team leadership to streamline overall department operations and daily workflows.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Civil/Structural Engineering, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, or an equivalent field of study.
