Design-build, not design-then-blame
Architects and site engineers sit at the same table. When something is hard to build, we change it together — before it hits the crew on Friday afternoon.
We design ambitious buildings — then we go out and build them. If you want real responsibility on site, not paperwork in a back office, this is your team.
You are not a subcontractor to our drawings. You are part of the team that makes them real.
Architects and site engineers sit at the same table. When something is hard to build, we change it together — before it hits the crew on Friday afternoon.
We develop and build our own residential projects — so site teams see a job through from groundbreaking to keys, with pride in the finished product.
Encarregados and engineers who speak up, solve problems and protect quality. We hire people who want to lead — not wait for instructions from Lisbon.
Beirut, Lisbon and London studios. You work in Portugal with a crew that thinks globally — exposure to methods, details and standards from across Europe and the Middle East.
Proper PSS, SST culture and respect for the team on the ground. We want zero shortcuts — and people who help us keep it that way.
We are building our contracting arm. Early crew members shape how we deliver — programme, QA, subcontractor relationships, the lot.
These are not renderings on a wall — our crew delivers them in concrete, steel and tile.
Our flagship residential work in Portugal — courtyard housing with craft, warmth and serious site coordination.

Engineers, encarregados and SST professionals who want to be on site — not on the sidelines.
Engenheiro — Direção de Obra
Run the site. Own the programme, the quality conversations and the relationship with trades — with backup from the design office when you need it.
Engenheiro Técnico de Obra
The engineer who is always on site — RFIs, surveys, as-builts, measurements and keeping the paper trail honest.
Encarregado / Mestre de Obras
Lead the crew day to day. Sequence trades, hold the line on quality and safety, and keep the site moving.
Técnico(a) de Segurança
Make sure everyone goes home safe. PSS implementation, inductions, inspections — partner to the site lead, not a checkbox.
Controlo de qualidade
Snagging, records, BIM coordination — bridge between what was designed and what was built.
Even when a role is listed as talent pool, we read every application — strong people get called before we publish the next hire.
We are assembling a core site team for design-build and own developments. Strong candidates join before the next project wave — not after it.
Lead residential crews on active Cipher sites. Experience beats certificates on paper — show us what you have built.
Site-facing technical engineer for measurements, coordination and quality — the glue between drawing and execution.
Help us run tight, safe sites on IMPIC-licensed works — culture matters as much as compliance.
