Architectural Technologist

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain accurate, coordinated Revit BIM models through developed design, construction documentation, and site coordination stages.

• Model complex and bespoke architectural elements, including:

  • Steel and extruded aluminum primary structures
  • Tensile membrane envelopes
  • Insulated composite panel systems
  • Aluminum and glazing systems
  • Timber cladding and joinery finishes
  • Decks, wet areas, and stonework
  • Internal finishes, doors, windows, and thresholds
  • Other bespoke architectural elements

• Produce GA plans, elevations, sections, and enlarged construction details directly from the model.

• Develop 3D junctions and interface studies to resolve non-standard construction conditions.

• Proactively identify and resolve clashes and coordination issues across architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines.

• Incorporate consultant, supplier, and fabricator information into the coordinated BIM environment.

• Maintain model organization, naming conventions, drawing standards, and agreed BIM protocols.

• Support the design team with 3D studies of bespoke details and material interfaces.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 8+ years of architectural technical experience, with meaningful exposure to:

  • Luxury hospitality
  • Safari lodges
  • High-end residential projects
  • Bespoke architecture

• Demonstrated experience resolving complex architectural junctions on built projects, beyond visualization or concept development.

• Experience coordinating architectural work with structural and MEP disciplines.

• Comfortable working with unconventional and bespoke construction systems.

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Revit, including working within and extending established project models, families, and drawing environments.

• Strong AutoCAD skills; familiarity with Rhino, Enscape, Twinmotion, Navisworks, or BIM 360 is an advantage.

• Working knowledge of:

  • Steel and extruded aluminum structural detailing
  • Tensile membrane interfaces
  • Insulated composite panel systems

• Strong understanding of tolerances, waterproofing, drainage, thermal performance, fixing strategies, and construction sequencing.

• Strong eye for proportion, material junctions, and architectural finishes.

Working Style

• Detail-oriented: Able to carefully assess complex junctions and understand how individual components work together.
• Practical: Can distinguish between a detail that looks good on paper and one that can realistically be built.
• Design-sensitive: Able to preserve architectural intent and finish quality while addressing technical requirements.
• Proactive: Comfortable identifying coordination issues and proposing solutions rather than waiting for instructions.
• Independent: Able to take ownership of work packages and deliver them with limited day-to-day supervision.
• Collaborative: Comfortable working with architects, engineers, consultants, fabricators, and site teams across different time zones and locations.
