Franz Schneider Brakel GmbH + Co KG (FSB) is renowned worldwide for precision door and window hardware solutions that make architecture tangible, literally.
In Brakel, Germany, we masterfully craft iconic design some of which has earned a place in the permanent collection at New York’s MoMA. FSB brings together traditional craftsmanship and artisanal precision with forward-thinking innovation and cutting-edge production technologies to create products that shape architecture around the world.
For decades, our factory in East Westphalia has been producing trailblazing hardware systems that meet the highest standards of quality and make bold architectural statements. As a mid-sized, family-run company with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths, our distinctive culture of communication ever since fosters innovation and provides space for individual development.
Together with a team of exceptional talents, we continue to grow our market position. Therefore, we have just established an organization in the Middle East.
As Chief Architectural Consultant (CAC) for FSB Middle East LLC, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, you will play a key role in establishing and strengthening our presence in the architectural landscape of the Middle East. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, FSB Middle East, you will act as a vital link between FSB and the regional design community – fostering relationships with architects, designers, and project stakeholders, supporting specification processes, and positioning FSB as a trusted partner for premium architectural hardware solutions.

Experience: 5 years+ of experience in the architectural-, design-, or building materials industry – ideally with exposure to premium products and specifications.

Cultural Understanding: You are familiar with the Middle Eastern architecture and construction landscape and understand how decisions are made in large-scale projects.
