ArchJobs

Hi, I'm Aylin, the founder of ArchJobs.

ArchJobs is an online platform that helps job seekers and hiring managers find and fill architectural roles across the UK.

Since leaving my job as a Senior Recruitment Consultant in April 2022, I've decided to step back from recruitment and invest my time in growing my job board, offering career coaching sessions, and providing job seekers with guides and more.

With my deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by both job seekers and businesses in this industry, I have a distinct advantage in assisting hiring managers in optimising their job ads and hiring strategy to attract top talent.

I also offer job seekers helpful guides and personalised Career Coaching Sessions to enhance their application documents, guide them in structuring their job search, and provide actionable advice and market updates.

ArchJobs can assist you if you're:
🔸 Seeking a new architectural role in the UK - simply apply to roles.
🔸 Hiring architectural staff - advertise your role on our platform.
🔸 Looking for personalised Career Coaching Sessions (CV, Portfolio, LinkedIn Review, Strategy Call).
🔸 An architectural recruiter/agency wanting to gain more visibility and raise brand awareness.
🔸 Interested in our useful Guides for both Job Seekers and Hiring Managers (Hiring Hub).

I'm sure we have something for everyone.

In my day-to-day routine, I'm responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the business. This includes tasks such as uploading architectural roles, consulting practice owners in their hiring strategies, writing articles and guides, offering tailored career coaching sessions, handling sales, marketing, and staying up to date on architectural market trends.

A few days ago, we visited Dubai Mall and took a closer look at the Burj Khalifa. 🙂

It's around a 10min walk from the Dubai Mall Metro station to the Dubai Mall. 🚶

I felt like I was at an airport, walking to my terminal, when Sam said, "Look, that's the bottom of the Burj Khalifa.". 👀

I looked to my right and there it was. No idea how I missed that. It's massive (photo 2). 🤯

We looked around Dubai Mall (btw, it's huge as well) but as I'm not a huge shopping fan, I was keen to get out and take a look at the Burj Khalifa (photo 1). 😊

Burj Khalifa is very impressive and I would love to see it at night, as we went in the middle of the day - it was 42 degrees and I was melting. 🫠

I knew a few things about Burj Khalifa beforehand - it's 828 meters in height, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) was the architect, and that it holds multiple world records, but I usually do my research after seeing a building... I don't know, maybe that's weird, but that's how I roll. 😎

While reading more and more about the Burj Khalifa, I picked out 7 interesting/mind-blowing facts:

👉 Architect Adrian Smith's inspiration for the tower was the Hymenocallis flower or Spider Lily – a regional desert flower (photo 3).

👉 It (only) took six years, from the time excavation started to the globally televised launch of Burj Khalifa on 4th January 2010.

👉 Almost 26,000 hand-cut glass panels were used in the exterior cladding of the building, which has residential, office and hotel use. 

👉 When the structure was at its peak, 12,000 workers worked on it per day.

👉 The Burj is designed to sustain seismic activities to a certain level. It can move in any direction about 1.5m.

👉 Burj Khalifa was made possible by the collaboration of more than 30 on-site contracting companies, made up of 196 nationalities from around the world.

👉 The ambient temperature at the tip is six degrees cooler than the temperature at ground level.

I think my favourite fact was that the inspiration for the tower came from a regional desert flower. 🌸

Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world

Dubai, UAE

The bottom part of Burj Khalifa. It was so much bigger than I expected. 

I took the picture from the Dubai Mall Metro station to the Dubai Mall.

Inspired by the Spider Lily
The Burj Khalifa's design embodies the lyrical and well-proportioned structure of the Hymenocallisor SpiderLily, a regional desert flower that inspired architect Adrian Smith's vision of the iconic tower.
