strong design review, multidisciplinary coordination, and project delivery
experience within complex transportation environments, and will play a key role
in overseeing architectural aspects of the project from design through
construction.

 

**This opportunity is part of a bid submission and is therefore subject to project award and client approval.**

## Missions/Main Duties

The Lead Architect will be responsible for leading the architectural review and
coordination function across the PMC scope for metro stations and associated
facilities. The role requires oversight of architectural design quality,
technical compliance, interface coordination, and construction-stage support to
ensure delivery aligns with the project objectives, applicable standards, and
client expectations.

 

- Lead the architectural review and coordination activities for metro station
  projects within the PMC scope.
- Review architectural designs, drawings, specifications, reports, and material
  submissions for compliance with project requirements and applicable standards.
- Oversee architectural coordination with structural, civil, MEP, urban design,
  and specialist systems teams to ensure integrated project delivery.
- Monitor design development and construction progress related to architectural
  works across stations and associated assets.
- Support the client and PMC leadership team in architectural decision-making,
  technical reviews, and design quality assurance.
- Review contractor and consultant submissions, shop drawings, method
  statements, mock-ups, and material samples related to architectural works.
- Identify design issues, coordination clashes, technical risks, and
  constructability concerns, and support timely resolution.
- Participate in design review workshops, technical meetings, and stakeholder
  coordination sessions.
- Conduct site inspections and monitor architectural works to ensure compliance
  with approved designs, specifications, quality expectations, and project
  timelines.
- Support the management of RFIs, NCRs, change requests, and technical queries
  related to architectural scope.
- Contribute to progress reporting, technical assessments, and client-facing PMC
  deliverables.
- Promote high standards of design quality, functionality, passenger experience,
  and operational suitability across station architecture.

## Profile/Skills

The successful candidate will be a technically strong and design-focused
architect with the ability to lead architectural review and coordination on
complex metro station projects. They should be capable of maintaining design
quality while supporting practical and efficient project delivery within a PMC
environment. Candidates with experience in high-profile or iconic developments
will be viewed favorably.

- Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
- Minimum of 15 years of relevant experience in architectural design, review,
  and delivery.
- Proven experience on major metro, rail, or transportation infrastructure
  projects, with a strong focus on station architecture.
- Prior experience in a PMC, supervision consultant, client-side, or major
  multidisciplinary consultancy environment is preferred.
- Strong experience in architectural design review, technical coordination, and
  construction-stage support.
- Experience working on iconic buildings will be preferred.
- Strong understanding of materials, finishes, passenger environments, and
  architectural detailing for complex public-facing infrastructure.
- Ability to coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and manage
  interfaces across design and construction stages.
