Senior Architect | Luxury Residential | Relocate to Dubai

We are seeking a Senior Architect with strong experience in high-end residential / luxury villas to join a new Dubai office and take a lead role on significant masterplan residential projects.

This is an opportunity to step into a senior delivery-focused role, working closely with the studio leadership and helping to build and manage a growing local team.

The Role

You will lead the technical and coordination delivery of a large-scale luxury residential masterplan, including:

  • Responsibility for RIBA Stages 3–5 across multiple packages
  • Oversight of villa design development, technical delivery, and coordination
  • Managing and coordinating consultant teams
  • Acting as a key project coordinator, ensuring smooth process and outcomes
  • Supporting additional projects already in the pipeline (including a larger future scheme)

This role sits directly under senior leadership, with two team members currently in place, and scope to grow a team around you.

About You

  • 8–10+ years’ experience (Architect or Design Manager level)
  • Strong background in luxury residential / high-end villas
  • Advanced Revit / BIM capability
  • Confident managing consultants and technical design processes
  • Delivery-focused rather than front-end concept-led
  • Comfortable taking ownership and relieving senior leadership of day-to-day project administration
  • Experience helping win work or support business development is a plus

Location & Contract

  • Based in Dubai, or willing to relocate (sponsorship available)
  • USD $60,000 – $90,000 (circa £50k+ equivalent), depending on experience and contract type
