About the role

At Moniepoint, we're on a mission to create financial happiness across Africa. Our physical branches are the face of that mission.

As a Branch Project Architect, you'll own the journey of turning architectural visions into real-world spaces. You'll work directly with our Lead Architect to coordinate stakeholders, manage technical documentation, and ensure our branch infrastructure is built to the highest standards. This isn't just about drawing plans; it's about making sure our physical presence is as reliable and innovative as our digital products.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Documentation: Translate design briefs into coordinated technical drawings and construction details. You'll ensure every plan is ready for both site execution and planning approvals.
• Technical Coordination: Review working drawings and material specifications. You'll partner with structural, MEP, and specialist consultants to keep everyone aligned.
• Site Supervision: Conduct regular site visits across Nigeria. You'll lead site meetings with contractors and vendors, ensuring construction stays true to the design intent.
• Project Governance: Maintain high standards for documentation and version control. You'll track progress and provide honest, transparent reports to senior stakeholders.
• Contract Administration: Partner with our Quantity Surveyors and Procurement team to manage contracts, certify work packages, and advise on variations or valuations.
• Quality Control: Snag completed projects and supervise final touches to ensure our branches reflect the excellence our customers expect.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture (B.Tech, B.Sc, M.Sc, or equivalent).
• 5–8 years of post-qualification experience in design and construction within Nigeria.
• Deep comfort on a construction site; you're at home in the middle of a build.
• Mastery of precision software: AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, SketchUp, or ArchiCAD.
• Ability to create photorealistic imagery using Lumion, V-Ray, Enscape, or similar engines.

Preferred Qualifications

• ARCON/NIA registration (completed or in progress).
• Experience with commercial or corporate projects, specifically involving facade systems and glazing.
• A solid grasp of project management basics: Scope, Time, Cost, and Quality.

About You

• You're an owner: You don't just wait for instructions; you see a problem and solve it. You treat every project as if it were your own.
• You're a master of your craft: You have the technical "grit" to handle Nigerian construction realities, but the creativity to think outside the box when challenges arise.
• You're honest and direct: You value facts over fluff. If a project is behind or a contractor is underperforming, you report it clearly and truthfully.
• You have a growth mindset: You're eager to learn, receptive to critique, and always looking for ways to build things better next time.
• You're professional and relatable: Whether you're talking to a site worker or a C-suite executive, you communicate with clarity, respect, and confidence.

What Success Looks Like

• Precision: Construction drawings are clearly coordinated, leading to a significant reduction in site errors.
• Timeliness: Projects are delivered on schedule and within the defined scope.
• Trust: Stakeholders and clients feel confident in your judgment because your reporting is accurate and timely.
• Excellence: Our branches are finished to a high standard, reinforcing Moniepoint’s brand as a premium and reliable institution.
