Contribute to a major project for the University of Geneva!

Burckhardt Geneva is looking for an experienced architect to strengthen the team working on the Centre for Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Geneva – CSPM.

Winner of an SIA 142 architectural competition, this project brings together leading architectural, urban, scientific, technical and environmental challenges. The future centre will be located on the banks of the Arve and aims to strengthen the link between science, education, the city and society.

What awaits you:

The project completes the science campus and connects several universes: a tower dedicated to research, a volume devoted to teaching, as well as a shared base, designed as a meeting, circulation and interaction space between the campus and the city.

Within a committed project team, you actively participate in the architectural and technical development of the CSPM, from design to realisation. You transform the competition intentions into coherent spatial, technical and constructive solutions, while ensuring the architectural, constructive and functional quality of the project.

You develop, check and coordinate plans, details, sections, façades, diagrams as well as presentation documents. You deepen, in a current digital environment, the interfaces between architecture, structure, building technology, sustainability and operation.

You also participate in coordination with specialised contractors, authorities, the client and various project partners. You support reflections on teaching and research spaces, circulation, uses and meeting places.

You contribute to the quality of internal processes, the structuring of documents and the transmission of information within the team. A precise and structured approach combined with a sense of responsibility and the ability to work as part of a team on a demanding project completes your profile.

What we are looking for:

You are an experienced architect and wish to engage in a complex, demanding and meaningful project. Ideally, you bring:

• You hold an EPF, HES architect diploma or equivalent training.
• You have proven experience in the development of complex architectural projects in Switzerland.
• You possess solid constructive and technical skills, acquired on major projects or those with high coordination requirements.
• You have a good understanding of the different project phases, from design to execution.
• You work in a structured, autonomous and collaborative manner.
• You have a strong architectural sensitivity, combined with a pragmatic approach to detail, construction and feasibility.
• You are comfortable communicating with specialised contractors, authorities, companies and clients.
• You master Revit. Knowledge of BIM methods is an advantage.
• You have excellent spoken and written French. Knowledge of English is a plus.
• You wish to actively contribute to a major public project at the crossroads of science, education, the city and architecture.

What you will find with us:

• The opportunity to contribute to a major public project in Geneva, at the intersection of architecture, scientific research and university education.
• An immersion in a complex project integrating urban planning, landscape, sustainability, building technology and architectural quality.
• A concrete experience of working within an interdisciplinary project team.
• Formative tasks directly linked to the architectural development of the project.
• Support from experienced architects.
• Current working methods, notably in modelling, graphic representation and digital tools.
• A committed, open and motivated team within our Geneva office.
• Attractive employment conditions.
