Industrial Architect

Roles and Responsibilities

The primary role of an Industrial Architect is to design and plan industrial projects, considering environmental, social, and economic factors to ensure sustainable development.

1. Conduct site selection and land preparation activities, ensuring optimal integration with local ecosystems and communities.
2. Design plant layouts that maximize operational efficiency and safety while minimizing environmental impact.
3. Select appropriate technology, machinery, and equipment that align with project goals for industrial automation, efficiency, and productivity.
4. Integrate MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems into industrial designs to meet project specifications and sustainability standards.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, environmental scientists, and project managers, to ensure project goals are met.
6. Implement design and planning methodologies that optimize energy efficiency, waste management, and overall output of industrial projects from the onset.
7. Stay abreast of the latest industry trends, technologies, and regulations to ensure designs are innovative and compliant.

Knowledge and Technical Skill Requirements

Mandatory

1. Proficiency in industrial architecture and planning tools, CAD software, namely AutoCAD, and other relevant design applications.
2. In-depth knowledge of site selection, plant layout design, and the integration of technology and machinery in industrial projects.
3. Strong understanding of sustainable design principles, energy efficiency optimization, and waste management strategies.
4. Working knowledge of integrating construction materials and techniques, environmental resources, and social and cultural considerations, that are local to the site, into the design of the project.

Preferred

1. Familiarity with Operations Research (OR) and Industrial Engineering principles to guide optimisation from the design phase.
2. Familiarity with MEP and HVAC systems design and integration within industrial settings.

Experience and Qualification Requirements

1. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture, with a specialization or significant coursework in industrial or environmental architecture preferred.
2. Minimum of 5 years of experience in industrial architecture, with a proven track record of designing and planning successful industrial projects.
3. Registration as a licensed architect or relevant professional certification is preferred.
