Senior Associate Architect (Sports/Entertainment) – Second in Charge

About the role

A global architectural practice is hiring two second-in-charge architects for its Singapore studio, which focuses exclusively on stadiums, arenas and major entertainment venues. The role sits between the project lead and the design team, running the team day to day and standing in for the project lead when they are not present.

Key responsibilities

• Run the team day to day and coordinate the consultants (structure, MEP, fire, acoustics, seating, AV)
• Make design and delivery decisions, rather than marking up drawings for someone else
• Act as the project lead's representative to the client and contractor

Required profile

• Stadium, arena or major entertainment venue experience, ideally from design through to construction; this cannot be waived
• Around 10 to 15 years in, at Associate or Senior Associate level, or a Senior Architect already doing the 2IC job without the title

Required skills

• Strong Revit and BIM coordination
• Comfortable directing a model team rather than working inside one

The practice describes the work as building design and delivery credibility on some of the most significant venues being built in Southeast Asia, and says the real 2IC title is the clearest path to leading these projects yourself. Interested candidates are asked to contact the recruiter directly, as the process is confidential.
