About the Company

PT Bali Cahaya Makmur (BCM), trading as Markov Architecture, is establishing a multidisciplinary Architecture and Engineering Department to deliver coordinated, technically complete and construction-ready projects.

We are seeking a Senior Project Architect who can develop architectural projects from concept through detailed design, construction documentation and construction-stage coordination.

The position reports to the Head of Architecture and works closely with structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, site-development, interior, landscape and visualisation specialists.

This is not a junior architectural, presentation-design or drafting position. The successful candidate must understand how architectural solutions are coordinated, documented and implemented on site.

Architectural Design and Development

• Develop architectural concepts and technically achievable design solutions.
• Translate client requirements into functional and spatial-planning solutions.
• Develop projects from approved concept through detailed design and construction documentation.
• Prepare accurate architectural plans, elevations, sections and details.
• Develop construction details, junctions, material interfaces and buildable architectural solutions.
• Consider design quality, functionality, buildability, maintenance, cost and construction programme when developing solutions.

Construction Documentation

• Independently produce complete and construction-ready architectural drawing packages.
• Prepare documentation suitable for coordination, tender, contractor pricing and construction.
• Prepare architectural specifications, material schedules, finish schedules, door and window schedules and other required supporting information.
• Ensure drawings, models, schedules and specifications contain consistent dimensions, levels, materials and technical information.
• Provide accurate architectural information required for BOQ preparation and cost review.
• Maintain clear drawing numbers, revision records, issue status and document-control procedures.
• Revise documentation accurately following coordination meetings and approved design changes.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

• Coordinate architectural documentation with structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, fire-protection and other relevant disciplines.
• Coordinate architectural requirements with interior, landscape and site-development designs.
• Review structural and MEP documentation against architectural requirements.
• Use 3D models to develop, coordinate and verify design solutions.
• Identify and resolve clashes, missing information and inconsistent design requirements before construction.
• Coordinate openings, levels, ceiling zones, service routes, equipment locations and technical interfaces.
• Participate in coordination meetings and close assigned architectural actions within agreed deadlines.

Regulatory and Technical Compliance

• Ensure architectural documentation complies with applicable Indonesian building regulations and professional standards.
• Coordinate architectural requirements relating to PBG, zoning, fire safety, accessibility and statutory approvals.
• Support the preparation of architectural documentation required for regulatory submissions.
• Identify regulatory, technical and approval risks affecting the architectural design.

Construction-Stage Support

• Respond to RFIs and technical clarification requests during construction.
• Review contractor shop drawings, material submissions, samples and technical proposals.
• Conduct site inspections when required to verify compliance with approved architectural documentation and design intent.
• Resolve discrepancies between approved documentation and actual site conditions.
• Coordinate approved architectural revisions arising during construction.
• Support the preparation and review of as-built and handover documentation.

Quality and Project Delivery

• Take responsibility for the quality, completeness and coordination of assigned architectural documentation.
• Plan and deliver architectural work in accordance with project deadlines.
• Report missing information, coordination problems, design risks and potential delays to the Head of Architecture.
• Review work prepared by architects or architectural drafters assigned to the project.
• Support client, consultant and internal project presentations when required.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a technically strong and responsible architect who can independently develop and coordinate complete architectural documentation.

The successful candidate must be able to identify technical conflicts, make practical decisions and explain how architectural solutions will be constructed. They must communicate clearly, accept responsibility for their documentation and revise their work accurately when coordinated changes are approved.

This position is not suitable for candidates whose experience is limited to attractive concept drawings, presentation images, basic drafting or work completed entirely under the direction of others. Candidates must be able to prove what they personally designed, documented and coordinated.
