Junior Architect

Junior Architect | Karnal, Haryana
A studio in Karnal is hiring its first in-house designer. You will learn the studio's detail standard directly from the Founder, on live projects.
About the Role
Our client is an architecture and design studio in Karnal working across residential, commercial, retail, and township landscape projects. The practice is built on precision: drawings resolved to 3mm across joinery, stone, wood, flooring, and facade, with site executing strictly from what is drawn.
This is a designer's seat, not a draftsman's. Your first month will be drafting only, because the detail standard has to become a habit before anything else. After that, the studio expects you to think about the work, not just draw it.
What You'll Do
Produce working drawings across joinery, stone, wood, flooring, elevations, facades, concreting, and shuttering.
Learn and extend the studio's library of typical details: doorframe, toilet, kitchen
Visit sites regularly and work site inputs back into the drawings
Coordinate with the studio's site engineers and external consultants for structure, 3D, interior, and furniture
Take site coordination for one or two sites over time, with minimal moderation
Question drawings and details rather than assume, and ask when something is unclear
Must Have
Fresher to 1 year in architecture or interior design
B.Arch or equivalent design qualification
Clean, accurate drafting fundamentals
A portfolio where the ideas read clearly, with a considered balance of text and graphic
Readiness for regular site visits
Based in Karnal or genuinely committed to relocating and staying. Accommodation is on your own account
If you have more than a year of experience, it should come from a practice with strict drawing discipline
Good to Have
Internship exposure to site execution and working-drawing production
Interest in vernacular and sustainable material choices
Not a Fit If
You have only worked where indicative drawings are acceptable and precision was never enforced
You can reproduce drawings but hold no point of view on the design
You are uncomfortable at site, or treat site inputs as someone else's problem
You are unwilling to have your work questioned or corrected
You are moving from a distant state with no real reason to stay
Compensation is the main reason for the move
Compensation
₹30,000 – ₹38,000 per month (based on relevant experience).
