Architectural career

Siti Rozaimeriyanty is a registered practicing architect with the UK and ASEAN Architects, BAPEQS, and RIBA as a chartered architect. She has worked for fifteen years as a senior architect in Brunei's Ministry of Development's Public Works Department before founding Eco Bumi Arkitek (EBA). For the years 2018 to 2019, she will serve as the first female president of the PUJA Brunei (Institute of Surveyor, Engineer, and Architect).[1]

When EBA was founded in 2010, it was one of the few architectural firms with a chief architect who was female. EBA's mission statement is to practice an integrated, multidisciplinary design process with a client-inclusive approach. The company began with a small team of employees and has since grown to include 28 local and foreign employees. It works on several projects involving both local and foreign partners.[5]

To guarantee that Brunei's trainee engineers have access to top-notch professional development, the Institution of Civil Engineers has renewed a training program and signed an agreement of collaboration with Siti Rozaimeriyanty and Patrick Courtney exchanged the agreement in 2019.[6]
