Job description

Job :

Join a multidisciplinary team of excellence in Morocco to lead a large-scale national project: the development of the National Smart City Framework. As an architect urban planner, this opportunity allows you to permanently influence the digital and physical transformation of Moroccan cities, collaborating with experts from various backgrounds to shape the standards for tomorrow's smart cities.

The main goal is to define a strategic, technical, and operational framework to harmonize urban planning approaches across the entire country. The objective is to structure urban planning, support the implementation of smart projects, and ensure relevant evaluation, all while adhering to the most demanding international standards to promote the development of major regional capitals.

The role involves integrating the urban planning dimension and climate resilience into this national framework. Interventions focus on three main areas:

• Conduct an international benchmark of smart urban developments and analyze the current situation to propose solutions adaptable to the Moroccan context.
• Actively contribute to the maturity matrix and the typology of Moroccan cities by leading workshops with stakeholders.
• Define the strategic axes, key performance indicators, and design a methodological toolkit for local authorities.
• Participate in structuring a national roadmap for the gradual deployment of projects and a capacity-building plan for local actors.

The ideal candidate holds a degree level of Master's (Bac+5) or higher, with a specialization in architecture, urban planning, territorial development, or sustainable urban planning.

At least 5 years of professional experience in urban planning and development is essential. Demonstrated mastery of integrating new technologies into city design and at least one significant reference in similar studies are expected.

The ability to connect sustainable urban planning challenges with the requirements of smart cities is necessary to succeed in this role. Fluency in French is mandatory, while knowledge of Arabic is a strategic advantage.

• Excellent skills in territorial analysis and urban planning.
• Ability to design methodological tools and technical frameworks.
• Aptitude for collaborative work within multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong communication skills for leading workshops and interacting with institutional decision-makers.

If you are passionate about smart cities and want to bring your expertise to this national project, send your CV to the recruiter as soon as possible.
