Experience working on large complex projects on a global scale with a focus on UAE is required, and ideally an interest or accreditation in sustainable design (WELL, LEED, Passivhaus). You will have demonstrable experience conducting site research, analysis, concept, planning and zoning and be skilled in both hand drawing and digital modelling/sketching. Ideally you will be confident across a range of software and programmes including Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Enscape/V-Ray, ArcGIS and Adobe Creative Suite.
Studio:
This is a rare opportunity to join a leading global multidisciplinary design force with award winning projects that are groundbreaking and highly impactful to the people who use them and the wider community. Their London office is nearing 200 strong who collaborate extensively across specialisms including architecture, interiors, landscape and urban and way finding.
