We look forward to your application. Your working environment As a Senior Architect in project and real estate development, you will take on a key role in the development and realization of demanding real estate projects. You think projects not only architecturally, but also holistically - from the perspective of the building owner, economic viability, and long-term value creation. Together with the management, you will develop project strategies, assess investment potential, identify opportunities and risks at an early stage, and lead projects from the first idea to successful realization. In doing so, you will act as a sparring partner for internal and external stakeholders and make informed decisions with a view to quality, costs, deadlines, and sustainability. You work consciously hands-on and are not afraid to develop concepts, check plans, or work out solutions yourself. At the same time, you will lead and coordinate interdisciplinary teams of architects, specialist planners, authorities, entrepreneurs, and external partners, ensuring that projects are implemented efficiently, economically, and with the highest quality standards. We are not looking for a person who accompanies individual SIA phases or exclusively designs. We are looking for an entrepreneurially thinking personality who takes responsibility, actively drives projects forward, and helps shape the future of our company with us. Your role • Creation of feasibility and potential studies for new construction, renovation, and conversion projects, including site and market analysis. • Development and accompaniment of projects from the first draft to approval and execution planning to construction release and handover. • Active participation and leadership in design, concept development, execution planning, and realization (including drawing/modeling or visualization). • Collaboration with project management, specialist planners, 3D artists, interdisciplinary teams, and external experts. • Support in acquisition, portfolio due diligence, as well as cost, feasibility, and value analysis. • You assess projects not only architecturally, but also in terms of economic viability, risk, and feasibility. • Preparation of investment recommendations for the investment committee and participation in object and investment strategies. • Contact person for authorities, owners, developers, sellers, and lawyers - with a confident appearance. • Development of object strategies, renovation concepts, investment scenarios, as well as preliminary review of construction projects. • Monitoring and control of costs, deadlines, and quality during the implementation phase, including reporting to project management and management. Your qualifications • Completed training in construction or real estate (architect FH/ETH, real estate trustee with construction background) or comparable qualification - ideally with additional further training in project management / real estate development. • Several years of professional experience in a comparable position, preferably with proven experience in Switzerland and in the entire planning and execution process. • In-depth knowledge of the Swiss real estate market - including building regulations, standards, procedures (approvals, building and environmental law) and cost structures. • Very good German language skills in word and writing; additional national languages (French, Italian) or English are an advantage. • Entrepreneurial thinking with a good understanding of economic viability, investments, and returns. You assess projects not only architecturally, but always also from the perspective of the building owner. • Experience in building owner representation or in a comparable role with overall responsibility for demanding real estate projects. • High quality standards as well as a precise, structured, and careful working method. You recognize errors at an early stage, work accurately, and never lose sight of feasibility despite high altitude. • You are decision-friendly, prioritize pragmatically, and take responsibility even in complex issues • Proficient in common IT systems (MacOS, ArchiCAD, Revit/BIM, Adobe Creative Suite) and hands-on in creating plans, visualizations, or models. • Analytical, networked thinking as well as a solution-oriented, structured working method - ability to recognize overarching connections and act pragmatically. • High level of
