Trainee Architect

Job Summary
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Trainee Architect with up to six months of experience to join our dynamic architectural team. This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with senior architects on a diverse range of residential, commercial, and institutional projects. As a Trainee Architect, you will gain valuable hands-on experience in design, documentation, and project coordination within a professional and supportive environment, helping you build a strong foundation for your architectural career.

Key Responsibilities
You will assist the design team in preparing architectural drawings, 3D models, and presentation materials that effectively communicate design concepts. Supporting the development of both concept designs and detailed working drawings will be a core part of your role. Coordination is essential, so you will work alongside internal disciplines such as MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), structural engineers, and interior designers, as well as external consultants, ensuring smooth project delivery.

Site visits will be part of your responsibilities to monitor project progress and verify that construction aligns with the intended design. You will also prepare critical documentation, including material specifications, schedules, and Bills of Quantities (BOQs), ensuring accuracy and completeness. Staying updated on local building regulations, construction materials, and methods is important to maintain compliance and quality standards.

Active participation in internal design discussions and client review meetings will allow you to contribute ideas and gain insight into project decision-making processes. This collaborative approach will help you develop your communication skills and professional confidence.

Required Qualifications
Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from a recognized institution. While professional experience is limited to 0-6 months, proficiency in essential design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator is required. A strong design sensibility paired with meticulous attention to detail is crucial for success in this role.

Effective communication skills and a collaborative mindset are necessary to work well within a team environment. You should be comfortable working under supervision while managing multiple tasks efficiently and meeting deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
Familiarity with additional software tools like Revit, Lumion, or Enscape will be considered a strong advantage, enhancing your ability to contribute to various stages of the design process. Exposure to a wide range of projects across different sectors will provide you with a broad professional experience, enriching your architectural knowledge.

We offer a supportive workplace that encourages continuous professional growth and skill development. High-performing individuals will have opportunities to take on greater responsibilities as they progress. Mentorship from experienced architects and designers is provided to guide your career development and help you navigate the architectural profession successfully.

This is a full-time, in-person position based in Islamabad. Candidates must be able to commute reliably or plan to relocate before starting. The starting salary is Rs35,000 per month.

If you are enthusiastic about advancing your architectural career in a collaborative and growth-oriented setting, please submit your CV and portfolio for consideration. We look forward to welcoming a passionate Trainee Architect to our team.
