Job Description

Senior Job Captain

Full-Time | On-Site | Lake Forest, Southern California

Salary: $80,000–$110,000 annually (based on experience and qualifications)

Location: Lake Forest, Southern California

Type: Full-Time, On-Site

Bring Precision and Leadership to Projects That Shape Southern California.

Why This Role

KSP Studio is looking for a Senior Job Captain who takes pride in getting the details right. This is a hands-on leadership role — you'll drive projects from design through construction, keep consultants and teams aligned, and make sure every set of drawings reflects the design intent with precision.

If you're a technically sharp Revit and CAD expert who wants real ownership over production, not just a seat producing documents, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Own

• Lead the preparation, coordination, and production of construction documents
• Partner with project managers, architects, and consultants to ensure quality, accuracy, and compliance with project goals
• Review and coordinate consultant drawings — structural, MEP, civil, and more — for consistency
• Provide technical guidance and quality control across project teams
• Conduct building code research under PM/PA direction and ensure adherence to all applicable codes and regulations
• Lead the permitting process across multiple city jurisdictions

What You Bring

• 8+ years of architectural experience, including 3+ years as a Job Captain or Senior Job Captain
• Required proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD; experience with other design tools is a plus
• Strong knowledge of building systems, materials, and construction methods
• Sharp organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proven ability to lead multiple projects and meet deadlines with limited supervision
• Bachelor's degree in architecture or related field
• Experience with commercial, institutional, or mixed-use projects preferred; architectural licensure (or progress toward it) is a plus
• Language Skills: Fluency or professional proficiency in Tagalog, Korean, Vietnamese, Hindi, and/or Mandarin is highly valued but not required.

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary ($80,000–$110,000, based on experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• A collaborative, design-driven culture that values precision and leadership
• Stability with real room to grow as we expand our project portfolio
• A team that trusts you to own your projects, not just execute someone else's checklist
