Lead designer


What are we like?
We typically design large and complex industrial and public buildings and, as we follow the entire life cycle of the house, the tasks are many and varied. Whatever we design, whether it’s an office building, factory, laboratory or data centre, our design skills are not replaced by technology. We deliver outstanding architectural appearance and technical content in the form of an uncompromising information model. Our work doesn’t stop there, as we bundle various applications to accelerate design, construction coordination and operations. We do this in a team effort, with everyone contributing their best knowledge responsibly. It’s an incredibly complex task that, if done well, the joy of creating it gives you the experience of teamwork and flow. All this with a promising future, in an outstanding office environment, with unlimited opportunities for development.
What we offer
As much responsibility as you want and as much as your professional experience allows. If you do it right, we’ll give you real credit, if you make a mistake, we’ll tell you so we can learn from it together. We’re sure you have room to grow and we’ll help you do that. We have a fast-growing, startup-like company culture, so you’re sure not to get grassed up. Officially, we’d say that:
