Dar is a 10,000+ person AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) consultancy headquartered in Beirut with 60 offices across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the UK. The tech stack—Revit, Navisworks, Civil 3D, BIM 360, Grasshopper, and now DynamoDB—reflects a design-forward firm expanding into cloud-native backend infrastructure. Hiring is engineering-heavy (131 roles) with senior-level dominance, concentrated across India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the UK; active projects signal a shift toward digital twins, automation, and platform-based delivery rather than traditional project work.
Dar provides design, engineering, planning, project management, and digital solutions for buildings, cities, transportation, water, and infrastructure across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The firm has delivered over 4,500 projects worth more than US$540 billion for more than 950 clients globally. Core disciplines include architecture, structural engineering, civil infrastructure, urban planning, landscape design, and sustainability consulting. Recent work spans road and highway infrastructure, digital twin technology, BIM content libraries, and smart-systems integration; internal challenges center on design-process efficiency, bid-package complexity, and alignment across multidisciplinary teams on large-scale projects.
Dar uses Autodesk (Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Civil 3D, Construction Cloud), Rhino, Grasshopper, MicroStation, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Lumion, and Enscape for design workflows; C#, Python, SQL, and JavaScript for development; DynamoDB for cloud data; and Figma and Adobe Creative Suite for UX/UI.
Active projects include digital twin technology and UX, platform and mobile experiences, major digital solutions bids, automation of repetitive tasks and bid processes, and Revit content library development. Pain points center on design-process efficiency, clash resolution, and integrating smart systems into complex designs.
