JOB DETAILS:
Head of Design
Job Description
GiRiNZU is a young company that designs and builds houses across its urban villages for new generations. Its first project is in Gahanga, south of Kigali, where GiRiNZU is building a first village of around 65 residential houses (mainly individual houses and small collective residences).

The company's objective is to double its production every year, and to reach an annual production of approximately 300 homes by 2024, including a significant proportion of affordable housing. The company is young, dynamic and all employees share values of work and collaboration, respect for people and nature which are fundamental.

To achieve these objectives, the company wishes to rethink the design of the houses to be built, by integrating in particular the architectural specificities of Rwanda and more broadly that of the habitat of the subtropical zones. She also wants to work on the interior of the houses, so that they meet the needs of the families who will live there for at least two generations. Finally, the company wishes to highlight materials from the region, and in particular brick, in order to maximize the environmental and economic impact of the project on the region. In this context, the company is recruiting an experienced designer, capable of participating in the design of these new houses, creating new objects, and serving as a link between the design teams and the construction teams.

The designer will have the mission, in connection with the General Manager of the company, to work on the prototyping of the houses, to design the objects which will allow the construction of masonry houses for real estate programs (about 100 housing units) and then to prepare the industrialization of the production of these new objects. The Designer works directly for the Managing Director who is the main sponsor of the project. He presents to her the different designs and the different options being studied and the results that have been achieved. The position is likely to evolve with the project.

As part of his duties, the Designer may also be required to manage subjects related to design, but important for the development of the company.

Requirements
• Design diploma (Master level)
• 10 years of professional experience in the field of design, prototyping and of industrialization
• Ability to supervise a team of designers, and to supervise technicians and/or engineers during industrialization

Technical Skills required for the job:
• Mastery of European and Anglo-Saxon design standards.
• Notions of metal construction.
• Mastery of industrial design tools (AutoCad and REVIT or equivalent) and computer aided design.
• Mastery of office tools such as Excel and InDesign.

Soft Skills required for the job:
• Ability to speak and write in English and French,
• Ability to work independently on assigned topics and to be a force to proposal on technical issues.
• Ability to present to a very high-level assembly the results of the work carried out.
• Seriousness and reliability.
