AI Summary
Architectural Technologist at NightOwl Consulting transforms developed architectural concepts into detailed, coordinated Revit BIM models and buildable technical packages for complex international projects, including luxury hospitality and bespoke architecture.
About this role
We are seeking an experienced Architectural Technologist to join our team on a permanent, full-time basis, supporting a portfolio of complex international projects. In this role, you will take developed architectural concepts and transform them into highly detailed, coordinated, and buildable technical packages, using Revit as a design and problem-solving tool—not simply for documentation.
You will work closely with senior architectural leadership to support technical design development, design reviews, and multidisciplinary coordination. This is a highly technical position suited to someone who is confident working independently and can take ownership of complex architectural details from design development through construction.
We are not looking for a CAD drafter. We are looking for a technically strong architectural professional who can critically assess construction details, resolve complex junctions, identify coordination issues, and develop practical solutions that balance architectural intent with real-world buildability.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain accurate, coordinated Revit BIM models through developed design, construction documentation, and site coordination stages.
- Model complex and bespoke architectural elements, including:
- Steel and extruded aluminum primary structures
- Tensile membrane envelopes
- Insulated composite panel systems
- Aluminum and glazing systems
- Timber cladding and joinery finishes
- Decks, wet areas, and stonework
- Internal finishes, doors, windows, and thresholds
- Other bespoke architectural elements
- Produce GA plans, elevations, sections, and enlarged construction details directly from the model.
- Develop 3D junctions and interface studies to resolve non-standard construction conditions.
- Proactively identify and resolve clashes and coordination issues across architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines.
- Incorporate consultant, supplier, and fabricator information into the coordinated BIM environment.
- Maintain model organization, naming conventions, drawing standards, and agreed BIM protocols.
- Support the design team with 3D studies of bespoke details and material interfaces.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
- 8+ years of architectural technical experience, with meaningful exposure to:
- Luxury hospitality
- Safari lodges
- High-end residential projects
- Bespoke architecture
- Demonstrated experience resolving complex architectural junctions on built projects, beyond visualization or concept development.
- Experience coordinating architectural work with structural and MEP disciplines.
- Comfortable working with unconventional and bespoke construction systems.
Technical Skills
- Advanced proficiency in Revit, including working within and extending established project models, families, and drawing environments.
- Strong AutoCAD skills; familiarity with Rhino, Enscape, Twinmotion, Navisworks, or BIM 360 is an advantage.
- Working knowledge of:
- Steel and extruded aluminum structural detailing
- Tensile membrane interfaces
- Insulated composite panel systems
- Strong understanding of tolerances, waterproofing, drainage, thermal performance, fixing strategies, and construction sequencing.
- Strong eye for proportion, material junctions, and architectural finishes.
Working Style
- Detail-oriented: Able to carefully assess complex junctions and understand how individual components work together.
- Practical: Can distinguish between a detail that looks good on paper and one that can realistically be built.
- Design-sensitive: Able to preserve architectural intent and finish quality while addressing technical requirements.
- Proactive: Comfortable identifying coordination issues and proposing solutions rather than waiting for instructions.
- Independent: Able to take ownership of work packages and deliver them with limited day-to-day supervision.
- Collaborative: Comfortable working with architects, engineers, consultants, fabricators, and site teams across different time zones and locations.
Benefits
- Above market salary
- HMO on Day 1 for principal and two dependents
- Government-mandated benefits
- Performance-based Incentives
- Quarterly Company Events
- 1,000 PHP De Minimis
- Equipment and software provided
