You design the stores our customers walk into

This is a hands-on design role. You take a store from the first site visit to opening day, and you draw it yourself. Concept stores, standalone buildings, mall units, revamps and relocations: 4 to 5 projects a year on your own, several of them live at the same time.

Our technical team in Thailand is small and close. You work next to our senior architect, our construction managers and our quantity surveyor, and you report to our Technical Director. You are the one who turns Decathlon's brand into a building that is simple to shop, cheap to run and good for the next ten years.

Job Description: I plan, design and deliver the interior and exterior architecture of our stores. I own my projects from concept to handover, I make the drawings myself, and I bring a store to life on time, on budget and true to our brand.

Design and deliver store projects

• Design new stores, standalone buildings, revamps, relocations, downsizing and extensions, in line with Decathlon brand and technical standards.

• Produce concept, feasibility and detailed drawings, 3D models and renderings yourself, and keep them up to date until handover.

• Run scenario studies (layout, size, downsizing or extension options) and present the right design for each store, with clear reasons.

• Balance investment, running costs, energy use and CO2 targets in every design choice.

• Prepare the BOQ input with our quantity surveyor, take part in tenders, and negotiate design contracts with consultants.
