Design the Flow. Architect the Experience.

At Vonmod, architecture doesnt stop at drawings, it drives how we shape, deliver, and install beautiful spaces.

Our niche? Architect-led, designer-driven, custom modern cabinetry.
And our 10-Year Target? To become the trusted partner for every leading designer and builder in Denver and select Colorado communities by 2034.

If youre someone who doesnt fit neatly into engineer or project manager, someone who wants to own both the technical craft and the client relationship, and eventually the business pipeline behind it, keep reading.

Position: Project Architect

The Project Architect is Vonmods most senior studio role. A hybrid of technician, project leader, and relationship builder who owns projects from first conversation through final installation.

Well be transparent: this is a role you grow into, not one you arrive at. Our work is highly custom and technically complex, and the full scope of a Project Architect, opportunity management, PM leadership, studio engineering, and business developmenttakes time to master at Vonmods level. What were hiring for is the foundation and the trajectory. We want someone who has the technical depth and people instincts to get here, and the ambition to make it their career.

Youll love it here if you:

• Champion Team Culture and lead with presence, not just process
• Stay Fully Engaged through the entire project lifecyclefrom inquiry to post-install
• Bring a Detail Oriented eye to quality, risk, and the nuances of project fit
