About the Opportunity

This position leads architectural projects from early design through construction administration within a design-focused practice. The role owns project execution, including client coordination, internal team leadership, and consultant integration. It operates with autonomy across multiple concurrent projects, maintaining control over technical quality and documentation standards. The position also contributes to internal production workflows, including REVIT utilization and drawing standards.

What You'll Do

• Lead projects from schematic design through construction administration
• Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, and deliverables across multiple engagements.
• Coordinate consultants, internal staff, and external stakeholders
• Produce and oversee construction documents with full technical accountability
• Conduct quality control reviews and ensure code compliance (building, zoning, ADA).
• Serve as primary client interface throughout project lifecycle.
• Direct and mentor junior staff in production and REVIT execution.
• Support specification writing and technical detailing.
• Participate in business development and client relationship management.

What You'll Need

• Registered Architect (RA required)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture from an accredited program 6–8+ years of experience within an architectural firm
• Proven project management experience on $1M–$10M projects
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk REVIT (required)
• Strong knowledge of Ohio Building Code, zoning regulations, and ADA requirements
• Experience producing full construction document sets
• Background in multi-family, commercial, or higher education projects
• Experience coordinating consultants and managing internal production teams
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to progress your career to become a Director and Principal faster than any design firm in the market.
• Direct ownership across both design and execution without layered hierarchy. 
• Full autonomy and exposure to full project lifecycle with client-facing responsibility.
• Influence over internal production standards and REVIT implementation.
• Fun office culture that allows you to play to your strengths
