Architect

About the Role
A Mumbai-based interior design studio, working across healthcare, residential and hospitality, is hiring two architects. Each reports to the Senior Architect of the assigned team and runs the day-to-day of two projects, from early design through live construction. Design contribution is expected from the first phase, not after a stretch of drafting.
What You'll Do
Handle the day-to-day of two projects at different stages
Coordinate in three directions: consultants and contractors, the client on routine matters, and upward to the Senior, the Lead and, when critical, the Principal
Coordinate MEP, structural and other consultants on live projects; align with the design team on early-stage work
Contribute design ideas and develop them with the Senior and the Lead
Produce drawings, details, models and presentation material to the studio's standard
Prepare and deliver presentations, and communicate ideas within the team
Guide interns and junior architects (one to two years) on routine tasks
Accompany the Senior on site and progressively handle routine queries
Flag red flags to the Senior early, and to the Principal where critical
Scale from two projects to more as you settle in
Must Have
3 to 5 years in architecture
A studio of similar size (around 20 to 30 people or more) with direct Principal or Lead exposure and end-to-end project work, not a single task area
Consultant and contractor coordination on at least one live project
Personal design contribution on completed work
AutoCAD and SketchUp; Photoshop and InDesign; MS Office or Google Workspace
Fluent English and clear communication
Based in Mumbai or genuinely settled in Maharashtra
Good to Have
Hospitality, healthcare, institutional or residential-tower exposure
Experience guiding interns or junior architects
Basic familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini
Not a Fit If
Large-firm background confined to a single task area, without end-to-end exposure or direct Principal or Lead contact
You depend on the Senior or the Lead for routine decisions
Strong technical executor with no design contribution to show
Weak communication that hampers coordination with consultants, site and team
You wait for instructions rather than think about the whole project
You resist non-standard forms or questioning the conventional answer
Short temper or a raised voice under people or site pressure
Relocating from outside Maharashtra without a strong reason to stay in Mumbai
You want a relaxed or contained schedule
