Registered Architect | St. Paul, MN

Design Excellence. Technical Mastery. Collaborative Leadership.
Are you a Minnesota-licensed Architect who thrives at the intersection of technical precision and creative problem-solving? Advantage Point Group is looking to add a Registered Architect to join our Facilities Design Team.

We are looking for a Registered Architect who loves the complex, massive puzzles of Industrial Design. If you know how to navigate heavy manufacturing codes, coordinate complex MEP integrations, and want to lead a team with an ongoing track record of success, let's talk.

This is a direct hire position with a $125k–$156k/yr base + full benefits and time and a half for optional overtime.

In this role, you won’t just be drawing plans - you’ll be a key project driver. You will lead the architectural vision for commercial and industrial facility projects, mentor rising talent, and act as a trusted advisor to our clients. If you are looking for a role that balances high-level strategy with hands-on design, let’s talk. Why Join Us?

• Core Hours for Real Life: We value focus and flexibility with core hours from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm .
• Influence & Impact: You’ll report directly to senior leadership and have a seat at the table for business development and client strategy.
• A Collaborative Ecosystem: Work alongside multi-disciplinary engineering teams to deliver integrated, high-standard design solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the Design: Own the full architectural suite—from programming and planning to demo plans, elevations, and construction details.
• Execute & Oversee: Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring they stay on schedule, within budget, and compliant with all MN codes (IBC, Life Safety, etc.).
• Consult & Partner: Act as the primary architectural point of contact for clients, translating their needs into technical reality.
• Mentor: Provide work direction and guidance to Architectural Designers and CAD Drafters, fostering a culture of excellence.
• Administer: Handle construction administration, including site visits, submittal reviews, and RFI management to ensure design intent is met in the field.

Who You Are

• Licensed Professional: You hold a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and the ability to obtain licensure in  Minnesota within 6 months  (NCARB certified preferred)
• Experienced: You have 7–10 years of experience in commercial and industrial architectural design. (Bonus points if you have experience with 3M drawings!)
• Tech-Savvy: You are an expert in AutoCAD, Bluebeam , and Microsoft Office.
• A Communicator: You can explain complex architectural concepts to non-technical stakeholders and build instant credibility with clients.
• Detail-Obsessed: You take pride in "bulletproof" construction documents and code compliance.

Compensation:

• $60-$75/hour ($125,000-$156,000/yr) depending on qualifications.
• Benefits: 401(k), Health insurance, HSA, Dental insurance, Life insurance, Vision insurance, PTO, and holidays.
• Time and a half after 40 hours (overtime is not mandatory).
