Architectural Project Manager Lead Big Projects. Shape Great Design. Build Something That Lasts.

If you love architecture but don't want to give up the design side for spreadsheets and schedules, this opportunity offers the best of both worlds.

We're looking for an Architectural Project Manager who can confidently lead projects, build strong client relationships, and stay actively involved in the creative process. You'll guide exciting projects from the first sketch to the final ribbon cutting, helping create spaces where people work, learn, shop, gather, and connect.

This isn't a role where you'll simply track deadlines. You'll be a trusted advisor, a team leader, a problem solver, and a driving force behind projects that leave a lasting impression.

Why You'll Love This Role Lead Projects That Matter

Take ownership of impactful projects across commercial, retail, hospitality, and education markets from concept through construction.

Stay Close to the Design

Build lasting relationships, lead important conversations, and help clients turn their vision into reality.

Expand Your Leadership Influence

Guide project teams, mentor colleagues, and play a key role in driving successful project outcomes.

Watch Your Work Come to Life

Drive Design Excellence

You're passionate about both the art and science of architecture.

• Participate in design development and construction documentation
• Utilize Revit to create coordinated and innovative project solutions
• Ensure designs meet client goals, building codes, and industry standards
• Champion quality throughout every stage of the project

Build Strong Client Relationships

Successful projects start with trust.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and stakeholders
• Lead meetings, presentations, and project discussions
• Provide clear communication and exceptional service
• Become a strategic partner clients rely on again and again

Collaborate With Great Teams

Great architecture doesn't happen alone.

• Partner with architects, engineers, interior designers, and consultants
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals
• Foster collaboration, accountability, and teamwork
• Support a culture where ideas, innovation, and problem-solving thrive

Keep Projects Moving Forward

• Monitor project performance and key milestones
• Identify and mitigate risks before they impact progress
• Balance multiple projects while maintaining exceptional attention to detail
• Deliver creative solutions when challenges arise

What You Bring Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Architecture
• 10+ years of professional architectural experience
• Licensed Architect or actively pursuing licensure
• Advanced proficiency in Revit and working knowledge of AutoCAD
• Experience managing complex architectural projects
• Demonstrated success leading project teams and coordinating consultants

You'll Excel If You Have

• Strong knowledge of design, construction documentation, and construction administration
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Confidence leading meetings and managing client expectations
• Strong organizational and problem-solving abilities
• A proactive mindset and natural leadership presence
• The ability to manage multiple priorities without sacrificing quality

Bonus Points

• Experience with commercial, retail, hospitality, or K-12 projects
• Multi-site or prototype-driven design experience
• Experience managing projects across multiple markets and jurisdictions

The Team You'll Join

We're a group of architects, designers, and project leaders who genuinely enjoy solving challenges together. We believe the best projects happen when talented people are trusted, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with experienced professionals, tackle exciting projects, grow your leadership skills, and contribute to an environment where creativity and accountability go hand in hand.
