Our thoughtfully designed apartments and dynamic hubs cultivate curiosity, dialogue, and a sense of belonging &ndash; because life is richer when it&rsquo;s shared.
 
 
 Our buildings are branded, hospitality-influenced residential products where the quality of design directly defines the resident experience.
 
 
 We are looking for a Site Architect to join our team and ensure that the design vision we have conceived is delivered with precision, integrity, and care.
 
 
 
 Please note: this role requires regular travel to our project site in Ras Al Khaimah. We are open to candidates who wish to based full-time on site, as well as those who prefer a hybrid arrangement split between Ras Al Khaimah and our Dubai HQ.
 
 
 
 
 Purpose of Role:
 
 
 
 The Site Architect will be the primary on-site guardian of HIVE&rsquo;s architectural intent throughout the construction stage of one of our branded residential developments in Ras Al Khaimah.
 
 
 Working closely with the Construction Manager, this role is responsible for responding to technical queries, conducting site walks, and ensuring that all architectural elements, materials and spatial decision on site reflect the approved design package.
 
 
 This is a highly proactive on-site role requiring regular presence, decisive judgment, and strong ownership of design quality.
 
 
 The role reports to the Head of Design.
 
 
 
 Key Role Responsibilities:
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Review shop drawing submittals from the contractor across all architectural and landscape packages, and issue formal responses in a timely manner.
 </li>
 <li>
 Respond to Requests for Information (RFIs) from the contractor, providing clear and well-reasoned design responses that protect the intent of the approved package.
 </li>
 <li>
 Review architectural material submittals and assess proposed alternatives or substitutions against the specification, making recommendations that balance design intent, quality, and buildability.
 </li>
 <li>
 Review and assess proposed vendors and subcontractors from the contractor for architectural scopes, evaluating their capability to execute HIVE&rsquo;s design and quality standards.
 </li>
 <li>
 Action and respond to inspection requests, attending site inspections and providing written sign-off or corrective direction as required.
 </li>
 <li>
 Conduct regular site walks to proactively identify deviations from the design package, non-conformances, and quality issues before they become costly to resolve.
 </li>
 <li>
 Lead snagging processes at the relevant project milestones, producing detailed snagging lists and tracking resolution through to completion.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>

 <li>
 A minimum of 8&ndash;10 years of professional experience in architecture with significant exposure to hospitality, hotel, or high-quality branded residential projects. Candidates with 6&ndash;8 years will be considered where their site experience is demonstrably strong.
 </li>
 <li>
 Proven experience in a site-based construction delivery role &ndash; reviewing shop drawings, responding to RFIs, conducting site inspections, and managing snagging on a live construction project.
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience on the contractor side alone will not be sufficient; we are looking for someone who has worked as the designer&rsquo;s or client&rsquo;s representative on site.
