• Opportunity to build project leadership experience while actively progressing toward architectural licensure.
• Exposure to a diverse mix of building types and project challenges.
• An environment where technical accuracy, thoughtful design, and professional development are valued.

Focus

• Turn design concepts into coordinated drawing packages that are clear, buildable, and ready for permitting and construction.
• Guide day-to-day drawing production for assigned projects, helping organize workload, priorities, and milestone deadlines.
• Develop and document code strategies covering occupancy, building type, egress, accessibility, area and height limitations, and energy requirements.
• Coordinate architectural documents with engineering and specialty consultants, identifying conflicts early and driving practical resolutions.
• Prepare outline specifications and other technical project information for senior-level review.
• Participate in owner and stakeholder meetings, communicate design options, and capture decisions for the project team.
• Support projects during construction through RFI coordination, submittal review, field observations, closeout activities, and punch list documentation.
• Contribute to milestone quality reviews by checking drawing completeness, coordination, and consistency before issuance.

Skill Set

• 3 to 7 years of professional architecture experience following graduation.
• Professional degree in architecture, substantial progress toward completing AXP, and active pursuit of architectural licensure through testing.
• Able to independently use AutoCAD and Revit and produce complete construction document sets.
• Working knowledge of building, accessibility, existing-building, and energy codes applicable to project delivery.
• Experience coordinating architectural work with multidisciplinary consultants and internal project teams.
• Strong ability to translate design direction into accurate plans, sections, details, schedules, and related project documentation.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively with clients, consultants, and colleagues.
