• Utilize Revit to develop 2D drawings, 3D models, design studies, plans, elevations, sections, and construction documentation.
• Resolve complex design issues with innovative, practical, operationally-minded, and commercially viable solutions.
• Evaluate layouts considering resident experience, functionality, circulation, accessibility, furniture planning, and long‑term usability.
• Conduct product and material research and support material and product selections.
• Coordinate and review consultant and contractor submissions, including shop drawings, material submittals, samples, RFIs, and technical submissions.
• Participate in construction administration, site inspections, design reviews, and project progress reporting.
• Maintain project documentation and support the development of Flow’s architectural standards, guidelines, and best practices.
• Manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining design quality and delivery standards.
• Travel to Flow properties and project sites across the region as required.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Architecture or a related field.
• 10+ years of professional architectural experience, preferably in residential, hospitality, mixed‑use, wellness, or lifestyle developments.
• Strong understanding of residential architecture, hospitality environments, amenities, and contemporary living spaces.
• Experience designing environments where wellness, lifestyle, resident/neighbor experience, and brand identity are key considerations.
• Highly proficient in Revit, with strong knowledge of AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite. Bluebeam and Figma are preferred.
• Strong ability to develop conceptual designs, presentations, and construction documentation.
• Strong knowledge of architectural building systems, materials, detailing, accessibility, and functional building operations.
• Understanding of the relationship between architecture, interior design, landscape, lighting, wellness, and hospitality operations.
• Knowledge of the Saudi Building Code and local authority requirements is highly desirable.
