Architectural Technologist
NightOwl ConsultingWe 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 and 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.
