BETA’s Project Architect brings senior technical design expertise to BETA 's in-house design team, producing high-quality architectural documentation while independently managing small-to-mid scale projects from concept through construction.

• Translate operational needs into coordinated, buildable construction documentation
• Coordinate drawings with structural, MEP, and civil disciplines
• Apply specialized technical knowledge (storefront systems, timber/wood construction, or similar) where relevant
• Maintain CAD standards, templates, and documentation workflows; conduct field verification as needed
• Independently manage small-to-mid scale projects from programming through construction completion
• Serve as primary design point of contact, coordinating directly with facilities/build team and stakeholders
• Track submittals, RFIs, and design revisions; lead project meetings and document decisions
• Participate in programming discussions and present design options for stakeholder review
• Coordinate with external consultants on larger capital projects as needed
• Other duties as assigned

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Architecture or related design field, or equivalent professional experience
• 8+ years of professional experience in architectural design, drafting, or construction documentation
• Advanced modeling proficiency required including AutoCAD, SketchUp and Revit
• Strong understanding of building codes, construction methods, building science and sustainability, and how design drawings translate to field execution
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects independently, prioritize across concurrent projects, and communicate clearly with stakeholders
