The expansion project is part of Qatar’s broader strategy to sustain and enhance its oil output while simultaneously investing heavily in its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production growth. This role will perform global analyses of offshore structures.

The Principal Architectural Designer shall be familiar with Architectural works for oil & gas facilities (onshore and/or offshore), producing 2D drawings and 3D models for the detailed design of buildings and architectural systems. This role requires the candidate to able to work independently, self-check the correctness of the work produced and submit the deliverables via the document control system. The candidate shall be able to incorporate and coordinate with other disciplines on the Structural building frames and the Electrical/Instrumentation/Telecoms layout requirements
