Senior Project Architect - Corporate Interiors (New York City Metropolitan Area)

M Moser Associates New York is hiring a Senior Project Architect / Senior Architectural Designer who specializes in workplace interior projects.

Position Overview

M Moser Associates New York is hiring a Senior Project Architect / Senior Architectural Designer who specializes in workplace interior projects.

At M Moser Associates, the Senior Project Architect — Corporate Interiors captains the job as early as the client interview, working closely with designers throughout test fit, schematic, design development, and construction administration to ensure design integrity is maintained at every stage. This is a pivotal role for the successful integration of highly technical design work . You are the person who holds the big picture and the fine detail at the same time, who thinks about constructability while the design is still moving, and who makes sure that what gets built is exactly what was intended.

As the project moves into Construction Administration, your role ramps up. You are responsible for bringing together multiple disciplines — MEP, structural, specialty consultants, and internal teams — ensuring their work is fully integrated and coordinated against the design intent. Quality control is central: you are the person who makes sure the design is buildable, the documents are airtight, and the project meets program, code, and agency compliance requirements.

Why This One Is Different

At M Moser, the architectural lead and the design lead work as one team — not in sequence, not across a handoff, but together from the first client conversation. The Senior Project Architect works shoulder to shoulder with workplace designers and strategists throughout every phase, which means buildability informs the design while the design is still alive, so design intent survives construction.

You own the full arc of the project — design development through construction administration — on workplace projects for some of the world's most recognizable companies. M Moser has been doing this since 1981 and the people who thrive here are the ones who want real ownership, who take pride in the details, and who want to work somewhere that takes the work as seriously as they do. Working for M Moser means working alongside a humble yet high-caliber team that is genuinely collaborative and supportive. M Moser invests in its people, promotes from within, and builds careers.

Primary Responsibilities

• Mentor and coach junior designers for enhanced teamwork and skill-building

Who We Are Looking For

The successful Senior Project Architect is someone who loves a challenge, has a healthy competitive spirt and who thrives in a team environment. You are collaborative and open-minded, yet have a keen eye for the detail. You are organized in your thinking and can dig into a problem and find solutions. You work well under pressure and inspire others to do so too. You are motivated by opportunity and growth, driven to be part of an energetic, creative and dynamic company that is making things happen around the world!
