AECOM is seeking an experienced Director of Architecture, to lead and grow our architectural department in Germany.
This is a leadership opportunity for a design-led architect with proven hands-on experience, delivering architectural projects across Germany using the HOAI (LPh 1–6). We are seeking a leader whose career has been built on architectural design delivery, with direct responsibility for authorship, technical accountability, and the authority to lead, defend, and approve design decisions throughout all phases of design and delivery.
As Director of Architecture, you will define the direction of the department, lead/coordinate multidisciplinary teams across multiple locations, and oversee the full design lifecycle—from early strategic advisory through delivery and completion. You will play a critical role in expanding our market presence, developing future leaders, and shaping the long-term success of AECOM’s architecture business in Germany.

What You Bring
Who You Are
You are first and foremost an architect who has earned credibility through leading and delivering design—not managing it from a distance.
You lead with clarity, ambition, and purpose. You know how to build teams, develop leaders, create client confidence, and translate strategy into measurable growth.
You are equally comfortable leading design, solving technical challenges, managing client expectations, and delivering architecture that works—globally informed, locally executable.
