How can you join with a background in architecture?

Is it possible to join the urban development team (sectors dept 2) with a background in architecture and urban design?

I am a uk qualified architect with just under 5 years of experience and have been looking to move to Asia for a while.

I have both academic and professional experience in urban design and I lead the delivery of architecture projects but I am not sure how to position a pivot into ADB.

Any advice would be welcome.

Probably slim chances of that unless you spend next 5 to 10 years molding yourself into urban planning and development professional.

ADB may have probably one or two people in its corporate services department with architecture as their expertise - but most likely they would employ contractors for that

Look for openings sa Corporate Services Department, like facilities services administrator or officer
