Senior Architect (Site & Execution)

Job Description:

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Architect to take ownership of architectural execution from drawing to delivery. The ideal candidate is not a desk-bound designer but a site-focused professional who can independently drive coordination, resolve on-ground challenges, and ensure that built work mirrors approved drawings with precision.

Key Responsibilities

1. Independent Drawing Execution

• Prepare, modify, and finalize architectural drawings using AutoCAD with high accuracy.
• Convert design intent into detailed, construction-ready drawings (GFC).
• Update drawings promptly based on site conditions, structural inputs, and MEP coordination.

2. Complete Site Coordination & Execution

• Act as the primary architectural interface between consultants, contractors, and site engineers.
• Ensure all site activities align with approved drawings, specifications, and quality standards.
• Coordinate with structural, plumbing, electrical, and landscape teams to resolve clashes.

3. Quality Assurance as per Approved Drawings

• Conduct regular site visits(daily/weekly as required) to verify execution compliance.
• Identify deviations and immediately flag / rectify discrepancies.
• Maintain site observation logs and ensure non-conforming work is corrected.

4. On-Site Issue Resolution

• Quickly resolve on-site architectural issues (level differences, opening misalignments, material discrepancies).
• Provide practical, buildable solutions without compromising design or structural safety.
• Escalate only critical issues; handle 80% of problems independently.

5. Drawing Updates & As-Built Documentation

• Track all site changes and update drawings to reflect actual execution (red-line markups → CAD).
• Maintain version control of drawings and ensure latest sets are always used on site.

Required Skills & Competencies

• Software: Strong command over AutoCAD (Layer management, plotting, revisions). Knowledge of SketchUp/Revit is a plus.
• Execution Mindset, Site Management, Problem Solving
• Communication: Fluency in [Marathi/Hindi/English] to coordinate across teams.
• Independence: Can own a tower or block with minimal supervision.

Qualifications & Experience

• Arch (preferred) or Diploma in Architecture with relevant experience.
• 5–7 yearsof experience, with minimum 3 years in site execution & coordination
• Proven track record of delivering at least 2–3 residential/commercial projects from slab to finishing stage.

Personal Attributes

• Proactive, hands-on, and comfortable wearing a hard hat.
• Meticulous about drawing accuracy and site quality.
• Strong ownership mentality – treats project as their own.
