Finishing Architect (Expert Level)

MADAREK Group is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Finishing Architect with proven expertise in delivering high-end, detail-driven finishing works.

This role requires a hands-on professional who can assess workmanship from early execution stages, guide site teams and craftsmen, and ensure the correct outcome from the beginning -not after completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and supervise all architectural finishing works on site
• Ensure execution meets high-end quality standards and design intent
• Manage and coordinate subcontractors, site teams, and craftsmen
• Oversee and control detailed finishing works across all trades, including Marble and Stone, Flooring Systems, Drywall and Ceilings, Joinery and Custom Woodwork, Aluminum and Glazing Works, Architectural Metal Works, Painting and Specialty Finishes, External Finishes and Façade Systems, FF&E, and Doors and Ironmongery.
• Ensure strict control of tolerances, levels, and alignment across all finishing works
• Review and approve shop drawings and material submittals
• Coordinate and supervise FF&E installation and integration with architectural and MEP works
• Proactively monitor works from early execution stages, ensuring correct methods and workmanship are applied from the start
• Identify potential issues early and guide subcontractors toward proper execution
• Ensure proper step-by-step execution, not only final appearance
• Take corrective actions on-site and resolve issues without delaying progress

Skills
