Work directly with clients and other project stakeholders as part of the project team. Apply architectural, technical, building‑code, life‑safety, construction, and building‑systems knowledge to project work. Identify coordination needs and project risks, develop practical responses, and help follow issues through resolution. Facilitate and, when appropriate, lead project‑team, consultant, and client discussions related to assigned areas of responsibility. Contribute to quality reviews, design reviews, visual communication, and the development of coordinated project deliverables. Perform construction‑phase services, including reviewing submittals, responding to requests for information, conducting site observations, documenting field conditions, and communicating project‑related findings. Provide project‑based guidance and support to less‑experienced team members. What You’ll Bring Typically 6+ years of relevant professional architectural experience . Experience is considered alongside demonstrated competency and professional judgment. Bachelor’s degree in architecture from a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, or equivalent education.
