Restaurant Architect
Are you willing to work for the best burger company in Norway? And do you have a passion for architecture? We are eager to find a person who becomes a part of our team and will participate in building up our success in Norway. We are seeking talent for the role of Restaurant Architect.
The restaurant architect is tasked with preparing a plan for the construction and remodeling of our restaurant. You will survey a property to determine the most optimal configuration for the building and how the site must be prepared. Then, working on specifications provided by the development and country manager. Architects draw the blueprints for the building that is to be constructed and must often make decisions on a myriad of details regarding the construction and design.
While restaurant architects do determine the aesthetic appeal of the building, they also have other concerns they must bear in mind while designing a commercial food service structure. Restaurants must be structurally sound and meet local (Norwegian) regulations, they must be economical to build and maintain, and they must meet the functional needs of an active restaurant. This requires a familiarity with the normal design and building requirements of structures in general, as well as the aesthetic and functional requirements of the restaurant industry and the Burger King brand specifically.
