I am Arturo L. Adajar, a seasoned Senior Technical Designer/Drafter with over two decades of post-graduate experience. My portfolio encompasses a variety of architectural projects in the Middle East, Philippines, and Singapore, including aviation terminals and hangar buildings at Dubai Airport, high-rise residential buildings, sports complexes, parks, and commercial centers. I am adept in leadership and creative problem-solving, take pride in delivering innovative solutions, and uphold a high standard of professionalism in meeting deadlines.
Throughout my career, I have partnered with prestigious companies in Dubai, Qatar, and Southeast Asia. I have notably collaborated with esteemed Western Architecture firms such as Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall, Woods Bagot, PRP Architects International, Rice Perry Ellis in Dubai, and DP Architects in Singapore. As a skilled AutoCAD user, I have directed design teams in producing exceptional documentation, persuasive detailed presentations, and thorough tender packages. I am also versed in securing building permits and providing critical site supervision support as necessary. With my comprehensive involvement in production administration from schematic designs to detailed design coordination, I am ready to make significant contributions to any architectural firm. Endorsements from my former employers vouch for my leadership capabilities and efficient time management. These certifications underscore my suitability for any technical role I undertake.
Currently residing in the USA, I offer remote consulting and drafting services that are flexible for work-from-home arrangement. Additionally, my work permit application is currently in progress.
