About the role

• Senior Architect managing industrial building projects from design to execution at UNITY Operations. Collaborating within an interdisciplinary team to develop innovative and sustainable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Industrial building planning: Whether Greenfield or Brownfield – you develop production and logistics halls as well as modern office spaces with a focus on function, efficiency and future viability.
• End-to-end responsibility: You manage projects holistically across all service phases (LPH 1–5), including coordination, schematic design, liaison with authorities and factory planners, and acting as the client/owner's representative.
• Compliance with cost and quality standards: You assess construction costs according to DIN 276 and are familiar with the state building codes. You ensure that generally accepted technical standards (e.g., ASR guidelines or fire protection requirements) are observed.
• Shaping the general planning process: You accompany the client as the central point of contact, organize expert reports, obtain permits and think across disciplines. You work closely with our experienced architect and share your knowledge across the organization.

Requirements

• Degree in Architecture or a related field
• Solid professional experience in planning office and industrial buildings or business parks
• Familiarity with planning across service phases (LPH 1–5) and a strong understanding of construction costs and economic feasibility
• Good knowledge of Revit and ideally experience with model-based planning according to BIM standards
• Confident presence in proposal/tender presentations and the ability to explain technical content clearly and persuasively to non-technical stakeholders
• Passion for helping shape a new business area and for interdisciplinary teamwork within a team.

Benefits

• Diverse working environment: As part of the UNITY Innovation Alliance, you benefit from a large network—knowledge exchange and collaboration with our experts across the group.
• Strategic co-creation of general planning: You are not only the central contact for clients and authorities but will help build our general planning business area with your expertise.
• Fast project onboarding: Direct entry into ongoing projects through a structured mentoring program and the opportunity to actively contribute from day one.
• Continuous development: You have a set number of training days available—for example, to pursue certifications with the Chamber of Architects. You will also grow through independent project responsibility and close collaboration with our senior architect.
• Flexible working model: Flexible work without core hours—whether from home, our Hamburg office or on the road.
• Additional benefits: company pension scheme, corporate discounts, JobRad (company bike leasing), Urban Sports Club, among others.
