Job description

Overview

The Architectural / ID & Sustainability Manager leads the end-to-end management of architectural and interior design (ID) deliverables and drives the project’s sustainability strategy from concept through handover. The role ensures design excellence, compliance with Qatar authority requirements, achievement of target sustainability ratings (e.g., GSAS / LEED), and seamless coordination among clients, consultants, contractors, and suppliers. The ideal candidate brings deep Qatar market experience, fluency in Arabic, and proven capability to secure timely approvals and deliver high-performance, cost-optimized, and user-centric projects.

Design Leadership (Architecture & ID)

  • Lead and coordinate architectural and interior design across all stages (Concept, Schematic, Detailed Design, IFC, Shop Drawings, As-Built).
  • Own the design brief, project design standards, and the management of design changes (change control).
  • Review and approve drawings, specifications, mock‑ups, and material submittals—including joinery, finishes, fixtures, lighting, signage / wayfinding, and bespoke elements.
  • Ensure human‑centred design : functionality, accessibility, acoustics, lighting, ergonomics, and universal design principles.
  • Drive value engineering while protecting design intent and operational performance.
  • Manage design interfaces with MEP, structural, façade, landscape, security / ICT, and specialty consultants (kitchen / laundry, AV, medical planning, etc.).
  • Oversee BIM execution (BEP, LOD, coordination / clash detection) and digital design reviews.

Sustainability Management

  • Define the project sustainability vision, targets, and roadmap; lead delivery of GSAS / LEED and client sustainability goals.
  • Coordinate energy, water, and carbon strategies; oversee modeling (EUI, WUI, daylighting, thermal comfort, embodied carbon).
  • Integrate circularity and healthy materials principles (low‑VOC, EPDs, recycled content) into ID / architectural specifications.
  • Manage sustainability submittals, evidence collection, and audits through design and construction.
  • Champion commissioning for performance (Cx / RCx), post‑occupancy evaluation, and performance verification.
  • Authority & Compliance (Qatar)

  • Plan and secure approvals from relevant authorities (e.g., MME / UPDA, QCDD, Ashghal, municipalities, utility providers, and project‑specific master developers).
  • Ensure compliance with Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS), fire & life safety requirements, and applicable international codes / standards.
  • Prepare / coordinate statutory packages, pre‑approvals, NOCs, and close‑out documentation.
  • Project & Stakeholder Management

  • Establish design schedules, deliverables matrices, and dependencies; manage risks, issues, and assumptions.
  • Lead multidisciplinary meetings (IDCs, designer‑of‑record workshops, VE sessions).
  • Interface with client reps, cost consultants, PMC, main contractors, and specialist suppliers to ensure quality, cost, and schedule adherence.
  • Provide clear reporting (dashboards, progress, risks, decisions) to senior leadership.
  • Quality, HSE & Handover

  • Enforce QA / QC processes (technical reviews, NCR prevention, mock‑up sign‑offs, factory visits).
  • Coordinate site inspections for architectural / ID finishes and sustainability credits during construction.
  • Manage snagging / De‑snagging, O&M manuals, training, and as‑built verification to achieve timely completion and smooth handover.
  • Qualifications & Requirements

  • Education : BSc in Architecture.
  • Certification : Valid UPDA Grade A certificate.
  • Experience : Minimum 15 years of experience in the same position within the State of Qatar.
  • Language : Fluent in Arabic (spoken and written) and proficient in English.
  • Technical Proficiency

  • Comprehensive command of architectural and interior design delivery on complex assets (e.g., hospitality, mixed‑use, healthcare, education, commercial).
  • Proven track record achieving GSAS and / or LEED targets.
  • Strong knowledge of Qatar authority processes (QCDD, municipalities, utilities) and QCS.
  • BIM‑led coordination (Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360 / ACC), MS Project / Primavera for design schedules, and collaboration tools.
  • Contractual literacy (design scopes, change control, submittals, shop‑drawing workflows).
  • Preferred

  • Experience with embodied carbon accounting, LCA tools, and material databases (EPDs).
  • Portfolio demonstrating high‑end ID / fit‑out and premium finishes.
  • Experience with commissioning management and post‑occupancy evaluation.
  • Key Competencies

  • Leadership & team mentoring.
  • Stakeholder influence & client‑facing communication (Arabic & English).
  • Strategic thinking and decision‑making under time and cost constraints.
  • Quality orientation with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Negotiation and value engineering.
  • Data‑driven reporting and risk management.
  • Rewards & Benefits

  • Tax‑free salary.
  • Comprehensive life insurance coverage.
  • Premium medical insurance for you and your dependents.
  • Generous annual leave balance.
  • Flexible and hybrid work solutions.
  • Remote work opportunities outside of country.
  • Company gratuity scheme.
  • Discretionary bonus program.
  • Annual flight contribution.
  • Relocation assistance.
  • Transportation & housing allowances (available for remote work locations).
  • Employee Wellbeing Program : 24 / 7 access to specialists in finance, legal matters, family care, personal health, fitness, and nutrition.
  • Seize every opportunity to sharpen your skills, expand your expertise, and be recognized for the impact you make.
