Architect

Job Description Job Description Architect - Multifamily Design & Development See Your Designs Come to Life. Are you an architect who wants to do more than just produce drawings? Do you enjoy being involved in the entire design process, collaborating directly with clients, and seeing your ideas become completed buildings? Our client, an established and highly respected design-build firm in West Michigan, is seeking an Architect to join its growing team in Grand Rapids. With more than 25 years of experience and a portfolio of prominent residential developments, this organization has built a reputation for delivering innovative, thoughtfully designed spaces. This is an opportunity to take an active role in shaping multifamily communities throughout West Michigan while working alongside an experienced, collaborative team of architects, developers, and construction professionals. Unlike positions where architects are limited to one phase of a project, this role offers involvement from initial concept and design through construction and completion. You'll have the opportunity to contribute creatively, build relationships with clients, and see the tangible results of your work. What You'll Be Doing

• Own the design process: Participate in projects from initial client discussions and schematic design through construction documentation and administration.
• Design impactful spaces: Develop site layouts, floor plans, exterior concepts, and 3D renderings, with a primary focus on multifamily residential developments.
• Bring designs to life: Create detailed construction documents using Revit while working directly with the in-house construction team to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and buildable.
• Stay involved through construction: Attend project meetings, respond to RFIs, review submittals, and help resolve design challenges as projects progress.
• Collaborate directly with clients: Understand project goals, contribute creative solutions, and help translate ideas into functional, attractive spaces.
• Help shape the future: Contribute to internal design standards, explore innovative construction methods, and stay current on emerging architectural and sustainable building practices.

What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys architecture and wants to be involved in the creative and technical aspects of bringing a project to completion. Ideal qualifications include:

• 5+ years of experience in architecture or a closely related field.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit , including construction documentation.
• Experience designing multifamily residential projects, or a strong interest in specializing in this area.
• A bachelor's degree in architecture or a related field.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, collaborate across teams, and communicate effectively with clients and construction professionals.
• A proactive, detail-oriented approach with a passion for quality design.

Additional experience that would be valuable:

• 5+ years of dedicated multifamily architectural design experience.
• 10+ years of overall architectural experience.
• Michigan architectural licensure or eligibility for reciprocal licensure.
• Experience with SketchUp, Lumion, Enscape, Twinmotion, or AutoCAD.
• Familiarity with sustainable building practices, including PHIUS standards.
• Knowledge of the West Michigan development and construction market.

Why Consider This Opportunity? Your work will have a visible impact. Contribute to multifamily developments that help shape communities across West Michigan. Be involved from concept to completion. Rather than working exclusively on one piece of a project, you'll have the opportunity to participate throughout the entire architectural process. Work closely with the people building your designs. The integrated design-build environment creates opportunities for direct collaboration, practical problem-solving, and meaningful involvement during construction. Interested in Learning More?
