Location: Makkah, Saudi Arabia
We are seeking an experienced Senior Architect to own the full project lifecycle — from concept design through to IFC (Issued for Construction) documentation and on-site construction supervision. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role for someone who can move fluidly between design leadership and technical delivery, with strong exposure to hospitality projects.
Lead architectural design from concept through Design Development, Construction Documentation, and IFC issuance
Provide construction supervision on active sites: technical/drawing reviews, approvals, and quality control
Review and approve material specifications and coordinate mock-up approvals
Manage project delivery timelines and coordinate across design and construction teams
Bring hands-on drawing and detailing capability — this is not a purely managerial or review-only position
Support new project pursuits and proposals as needed
Liaise directly with Head of Technical and CDO on technical direction and project strategy
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture
Minimum 8–10+ years of experience spanning both design and construction supervision (specify years for each)
Demonstrated experience taking projects from concept design through to IFC documentation
Proven construction supervision experience, including technical approvals, drawing reviews, and materials specification
Hospitality sector experience is required — candidates must be able to name specific hotel/hospitality projects worked on and their role
Consultancy background (GCC/KSA-based consultancies preferred)
Strong hands-on drawing and technical detailing skills
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
