About UniLiv

UniLiv is building India’s most advanced co-living and student accommodation platform — where design, speed, and operational precision converge to create category-defining living experiences.

We don’t operate properties.

We engineer high-performance living ecosystems — built for scale, consistency, and customer obsession.

Role Overview

We are looking for a high-agency Designer who thinks like a Project Owner.

This is not a conventional design role.

You will own the full lifecycle of new hostel developments — from conceptualization to execution to final handover — ensuring every project meets UniLiv’s benchmarks of speed, cost efficiency, and uncompromising quality.

If you can design beautifully and execute ruthlessly — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

1. Design Leadership & Planning

• Drive space planning, layouts, and design systems aligned with UniLiv’s brand DNA
• Develop detailed working drawings, BOQs, and technical specifications
• Ensure design feasibility and execution-readiness through cross-functional alignment
• Protect and maintain design intent across the execution lifecycle

2. End-to-End Project Ownership

• Lead the complete development lifecycle of new co-living assets
• Build and manage execution roadmaps, timelines, and budgets
• Deliver projects within defined cost, quality, and time benchmarks
• Track milestones aggressively and anticipate risks before they become problems

3. Execution & Site Control

• Take full control of on-ground execution with strict quality oversight
• Conduct frequent site reviews and drive real-time decision-making
• Solve execution bottlenecks with speed and ownership
• Ensure compliance with local regulations, approvals, and safety standards

4. Vendor & Commercial Management

• Identify, onboard, and manage high-performance contractors and vendors
• Lead commercial negotiations with a strong focus on cost optimization
• Ensure material quality, timelines, and delivery accountability
• Collaborate closely with procurement, operations, and central team

Who You Are

Eligibility

• B.Arch (Mandatory | Non-negotiable)
• 4+ years of experience in architecture, interiors, or project execution
• Exposure to hospitality, co-living, or residential projects is a strong advantage
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and execution-focused tools

Core Competencies

• Strong design thinking with execution intelligence
• Extreme ownership mindset with bias for action
• Sharp project planning and deadline discipline
• Proven ability in vendor management & cost control
• Capability to manage multiple high-pressure projects simultaneously
• Clear, assertive communication and stakeholder management

Why This Role is Different

• You don’t “assist” projects — you own and deliver them
• Direct exposure to 0 → 1 asset creation at scale
• Work in a culture that rewards speed, accountability, and sharp execution
• Build infrastructure that impacts thousands of residents across cities
