Our client is seeking a highly skilled Architecture Expert to lead and oversee the architectural design and integration of high-speed rail stations. This role is critical to ensuring the successful delivery of cutting-edge infrastructure projects, with a focus on system integration, tunneling, and coordination with contractors and third parties. The position requires extensive experience in high-speed rail projects, particularly within the GCC region, with preference for candidates familiar with UAE-specific standards and practices.

- Ensure alignment of designs with project objectives, safety standards, and operational requirements.
- Oversee integration of technical systems (e.g., AFC, MEP, signaling, telecommunications) into station infrastructure/layouts.
- Manage interfaces between civil works and subsystems such as AFC, telecommunication, rolling stock and MEP.

- Minimum 10 years in architectural design for large-scale infrastructure projects.  
- At least 5 years of experience on high-speed rail projects.  
- Experience in tunneling or underground structures is highly desirable.
