Job description

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Architect to join our Singapore studio — someone who can run projects independently and take real ownership from day one. This is not a role where you sit behind a senior's shoulder: you'll be the primary point of coordination with clients, consultants, and contractors, and expected to drive projects forward with minimal supervision. It's a boutique environment with a steep learning curve and genuinely hands‑on exposure — the kind of broad, end‑to‑end responsibility that's hard to come by at larger firms. We're looking for someone versatile, resourceful, and comfortable taking on new challenges across project types and scales.

Key responsibilities

• Run projects independently across all phases — Concept, SD, DD, CD, Tender, and CA
• Act as the main point of coordination between clients, consultants, and contractors
• Ensure designs and documentation comply with local codes, regulations, and authority requirements
• Manage authority submissions and liaise with relevant agencies as required
• Administer construction contracts — certification, valuations, variations, and related documentation
• Develop architectural and interior design concepts across different project types and scales
• Produce design presentations, drawings, and visualisations to a high standard
• Prepare construction documentation and coordinate detailed design with the project team
• Lead or actively participate in client meetings and presentations
• Collaborate closely with the founding directors and a small, dedicated project team

About you

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture from an accredited institution
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience, with a demonstrated track record of running projects independently
• Strong working knowledge of Singapore building codes and regulatory requirements
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit
• Strong working knowledge of SketchUp, Rhino and/or other 3D modelling software
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)
• Able to work independently and manage projects with minimal supervision
• Versatile, resourceful, and willing to take on new challenges
• Strong coordination and stakeholder management skills
• Excellent design skills with a refined aesthetic sense

• Singaporean/PR preferred
