Senior Architect / Senior Architectural Designer
About the role
"Shape projects from the very first line"
This is a full-time Senior Architect / Associate position based in Singapore, with a hybrid work arrangement. You will work directly alongside our Founding Director — with real autonomy, real responsibility, and real creative input from day one.
You will lead projects across our residential and mixed-use portfolio, manage client relationships, mentor a focused team, and play a foundational role in defining how this practice operates and grows.
Design & Delivery- Collaborate with the Founding Director to conceptualise and develop designs from project inception — before a single line is drawn
- Lead design development and execution across landed residential and mixed-use projects
- Prepare and manage tender documentation, specifications, and contract drawings
- Administer contracts under SIA and PSSCOC frameworks
- Oversee construction stage delivery, site inspections, and quality compliance
- Champion BIM workflows and innovative software integration across the team
- Manage authority submissions end-to-end, including under the RABW framework
- Drive project timelines, stakeholder coordination, and quality delivery
- Build and manage meaningful client relationships with professionalism
- Lead, mentor, and develop junior architects and designers
- Liaise with consultants, contractors, and government agencies across project stages
- Contribute to the practice's business development and growth over time
Why this role is different
"Not a conventional architectural position"- Direct Mentorship from Founding Director. A genuine day-to-day working relationship with a principal who has deep Singapore market knowledge and a track record of award-winning delivery.
- In From the Start. Deeply involved in the conceptualisation of every project from day one — working at the point where ideas are formed, not just executing briefs handed down from above.
- Real Projects, Real Responsibility. Your portfolio will span prestigious landed residences to larger mixed-use commissions — the kinds of projects that define careers, not line items on someone else's CV.
- A Path Beyond Architecture. For candidates who demonstrate exceptional potential, a genuine opportunity to step into the business side of the practice and share in the firm's growth.
