Role Description

This is a full-time on-site role for an Architectural Technologist based in Nairobi County, Kenya. As a design and build company, we deliver projects end-to-end — from concept through to construction — and we’re looking for someone who thrives in that integrated environment. The role involves preparing technical drawings, creating working drawings, and developing detailed architectural and construction drawings. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with architects, designers, and project managers to ensure accurate design implementation. The role also requires regular site presence — coordinating with site personnel, liaising with suppliers, and resolving on-site technical queries to keep projects moving. Responsibilities include ensuring that projects comply with building regulations and are optimized for functionality and sustainability.
