- Apply building codes with depth and accuracy; perform and review area and BOMA calculations.
- Conduct project retrospectives on all projects larger than 8,000 SF for continuous improvement.

- Support the growth of existing client relationships and identify new business opportunities under Principal supervision
- Contribute to award submissions and represent PDO in at least one relevant professional organization
Financial Oversight

- Prepare and negotiate proposals; understand project profitability and advocate for appropriate fee levels
- Identify and secure approvals for additional services before work begins; support collections when needed
- Act as liaison between Principals and junior staff; delegate work strategically for quality, efficiency, and team development
- Mentor junior designers toward senior-level performance; contribute to onboarding, training, and standardization efforts
- Foster a culture of responsiveness, modeling same-day acknowledgment of emails and 24-hour turnaround on requests
- Contribute meaningfully to concept development; bring fresh materials, ideas, and perspectives to elevate project design
- Lead and participate in programming and visioning sessions; produce clear, client-ready deliverables from those meetings
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in interior architecture, workplace, or office design
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage large, complex projects from programming through CA
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit required
