Our in‑house architectural firm is dedicated to creating a global portfolio of luxurious, high‑end hospitality destinations. We focus on extraordinary experiences, blending creativity, excellence, and innovative design to transform how people live, travel, and connect. If you are passionate about architecture, design, and shaping the future of global hospitality, we invite you to grow with us.

We are looking for a technically strong and detail‑oriented architect to join our design team within the real‑estate development business, focusing on boutique hospitality assets. In this role you will translate design intent into fully coordinated, precise, and buildable documentation from RIBA Stage 3 through construction, ensuring quality, constructability, and coordination are preserved. You will serve as the key contact for design problem‑solving, system integration, and detailing.

• This is a full‑time day job with expected involvement of up to 40 hours a week.
• This is a fully remote position.
• We work normal Central European Time zone (CET) hours, 9–17 or 10–18. You are expected to participate in daily team meetings.
• Utopia does not provide visa sponsorship and/or relocation package for this position.

• Work on a variety of high‑end hospitality projects, focusing on technical development, spatial coordination, and construction‑level detailing.
• Translate concept and schematic designs into coordinated, buildable Revit models and documentation packages across RIBA Stages 3–5.
• Develop precise technical layouts, assemblies, and details in Revit, ensuring consistency with design intent, constructability, and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate architectural models with structural, MEP, and interior design inputs using BIM workflows and Navisworks.
• Review, resolve, and prevent coordination issues across disciplines; propose feasible, well‑integrated technical solutions.
• Build and manage project typologies, families, and detail libraries to support efficient design development and standardization.
• Support tender and construction documentation preparation, ensuring alignment with specifications, codes, and local regulations.
• Assist with developing project‑specific systems and façade/roof/technical typologies based on construction logic and material performance.
• Provide quality control on Revit models and documentation across the team; conduct technical reviews and flag risks early.
• Collaborate with the procurement team on technical inputs related to material quantities, specifications, and product compatibility.
• Stay up‑to‑date with building systems, construction methods, and BIM automation tools; research and implement best practices in technical design.
• Supervise and guide BIM modelers and junior technical staff; support building‑department‑wide technical workflows and standards.

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Architecture.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in architectural design.
• Experience working on low‑rise residential and hospitality projects—private homes, villas, hotels, and resorts.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
• Professional level of English, both written and verbal.
• Portfolio is a must.
