Job Title: Architect – Design-Build | Parametric | Fit-Out Specialist
Location: Al Quoz, Dubai, UAE
About The Walls
The Walls is a multidisciplinary architecture, design, and build company based in Dubai, with a strong presence in Al Quoz’s creative industrial zone. We specialize in delivering concept-to-completion environments that combine precision, material innovation, and design excellence. Our work spans across bespoke residential builds, high-end commercial interiors, immersive hospitality experiences, and branded environments—often fabricated in-house through our integrated production team.
We thrive at the intersection of architecture, fabrication, and storytelling, offering a rare blend of conceptual clarity and hands-on execution. Our approach is rooted in design-build thinking, parametric exploration, and buildability-first design—making us a go-to firm for clients who want impact and innovation without compromise.
The Role
We’re seeking a forward-thinking Architect with proven experience in design-build project delivery, parametric design tools, and fit-out execution. The ideal candidate will bring not only strong conceptual and technical design skills but also the mindset of a problem-solver—someone who sees construction constraints as opportunities for innovation.
You will play a lead role in shaping some of our most ambitious projects, from early sketches through to on-site execution and fabrication coordination.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead architectural design and detail development for projects ranging from full builds to complex interior fit-outs.
- Apply parametric design tools (e.g., Rhino + Grasshopper) to test and evolve ideas quickly, always with buildability in mind.
- Coordinate across disciplines including in-house fabrication, MEP consultants, site teams, and external stakeholders.
- Deliver design-build projects with ownership from concept through execution, balancing design intent with time and budget.
- Translate client aspirations and narratives into spatial concepts, material strategies, and real-world construction solutions.
- Review shop drawings, mock-ups, prototypes, and assist in rapid iterations during the construction and fabrication phase.
- Support NOC and permit documentation with a good understanding of local codes and authority submission requirements.
- Mentor junior architects and collaborate across The Walls’ architecture, production, and operations teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture from a recognized institution.
- Minimum 8 years of post-graduate experience, including design-build and fit-out project delivery.
- Proficient in Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, AutoCAD, Adobe Suite. Experience with Enscape or Twinmotion is a plus.
- Strong design sensibility with a clear understanding of construction logic, fabrication processes, and materials.
- On-site experience is a must—especially in coordinating with contractors, resolving site conditions, and ensuring design intent.
- Ability to lead client presentations, coordinate technical consultants, and run projects independently.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple fast-paced projects with overlapping timelines.
What We Offer
- A collaborative studio environment that merges design with fabrication and real-world making.
- Access to exciting, one-of-a-kind projects where your work is built—often by us.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Professional development support and the opportunity to grow with a dynamic team.
- Creative freedom and leadership opportunities within a tight-knit, design-driven culture.
