You will prepare drawings through analogue and digital means and use iterative design tools to work through development and be able to communicate verbally and through imagery effectively and convincingly.

Experience working on large complex projects on a global scale with a focus on UAE is required, and ideally an interest or accreditation in sustainable design (WELL, LEED, Passivhaus). You will have demonstrable experience conducting site research, analysis, concept, planning and zoning and be skilled in both hand drawing and digital modelling/sketching.
