Lead Architect – Engineering & Tender Support

We are seeking a technically skilled Lead Architect with an engineering mindset to support the Tender Team by identifying design gaps, assessing project complexity, and advising on cost-impacting factors. The ideal candidate will have strong architectural and engineering expertise, ensuring technically sound, cost-effective, and well-evaluated tender submissions.
This role involves ad-hoc quantity verification for high-risk items, providing value engineering solutions, and collaborating with Procurement, MEP, and other technical teams to enhance bid strategies.

Key Responsibilities:
Design & Technical Analysis for Tenders

• Review tender drawings and specifications to detect design gaps, risks, and cost implications.
• Assess technical complexity, including structural feasibility, MEP integration, and material efficiency.
• Highlight high-risk items and suggest alternative solutions to mitigate cost and execution challenges.
• Ensure compliance with local and international building codes.

Ad-Hoc Quantity Verification & Risk Assessment:

• Verify quantities for risky or unclear items (e.g., unique façades, complex joinery, specialty materials) only when needed.
• Collaborate with Procurement to ensure material assumptions are technically justified.
• Analyze BOQs selectively, ensuring alignment with design feasibility.

Cross-Disciplinary Coordination:

• Identify missing scope or ambiguities that may impact cost or execution.
• Work closely with MEP, Structural, and Civil Engineering teams for seamless design coordination.
• Support risk assessment, addressing material availability, construction methodologies, and technical challenges.

Value Engineering & Cost Optimization:

• Propose alternative designs, materials, and construction methods to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
• Advise on prefabrication opportunities and sustainability considerations.
• Ensure cost-saving proposals align with project timelines and quality standards.

Stakeholder Engagement:

• Liaise with external consultants, subcontractors, and project teams to clarify design details before bid submission.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings and site visits, providing expert insights.
• Present technical findings and recommendations to management and clients.

What we offer:

• Medical insurance
• Professional development opportunities
