Project Architect - Project Architect, Project Architecture

Project Architect – Albany, NY Area Municipal & Federal Projects
We are conducting a confidential search on behalf of an established multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm located in a northern suburb of Albany, NY. We are seeking an experienced Project Architect who wants to do more than remain in a narrowly defined production role. This position offers the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle, take increasing ownership of projects, coordinate with multiple engineering disciplines, contribute to project management, and mentor junior staff.
The ideal candidate is a Registered Architect, or an architect actively progressing toward registration, with 5–10+ years of broad, practical experience across multiple project types and phases. The client is particularly interested in candidates who combine strong technical capabilities with the ability and desire to grow into greater project leadership responsibility.
What You'll Do:

Work as part of a collaborative architecture and building systems team supporting a diverse mix of municipal and federal projects.
Support and lead architectural projects from initial programming through design and construction.
Prepare architectural assessments, facility studies, feasibility studies, and programming reports.
Evaluate existing buildings and document architectural conditions and recommendations.
Perform building code reviews for new and existing facilities.
Develop architectural drawings, details, and construction documents.
Work in Revit and AutoCAD.
Coordinate with structural, engineering, drafting, specialty consultant, and other project disciplines.
Serve as a lead architect on multidisciplinary assignments as experience and project needs warrant.
Contribute to project planning, coordination, and management.
Communicate effectively with project team members, consultants, and stakeholders.
Help guide and mentor less-experienced team members.
Maintain hands-on technical and production involvement while taking on increasing project ownership.
Prepare clear, professional technical reports and written documentation.
What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture.
• 5–10+ years of relevant architectural experience.
• Registered Architect strongly preferred.
• Candidates who are not yet licensed should be actively taking the architectural registration exams and close to completing the licensure process.
• Broad, practical experience across multiple architectural project phases.
• Experience with existing-building assessments and feasibility studies.
• Understanding of New York State building codes and regulations.
• Experience with Revit and AutoCAD.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to manage priorities across multiple projects and deadlines.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary design teams.
• Interest in growing into additional project management, project ownership, and mentoring responsibilities.
• U.S. citizenship or authorization to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
