Job description

Are you an Architect who wants to take your experience beyond traditional design and use your architectural knowledge in a more strategic, client-facing role?

I’m working with a nationally recognized building consulting firm that is expanding its Building Assessments team in Dallas and is looking to add an experienced Architect to the business.

This is a great opportunity to leverage your understanding of buildings, construction documentation and building systems while getting closer to the commercial real estate and investment side of the industry.

Rather than spending your time solely behind a desk working on design, you’ll be out in the field, assessing existing buildings, solving real-world problems and working directly with owners, investors and other real estate stakeholders.

The Role:

You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of commercial properties, carrying out building assessments and due diligence that directly influence major real estate decisions.

Your architectural background will be particularly valuable when assessing how buildings have been designed and constructed, identifying potential issues and translating your findings into clear recommendations for clients.

What you'll be doing:

• Conducting property condition assessments and building evaluations
• Visiting sites and assessing existing building conditions
• Reviewing drawings, construction documents and building records
• Evaluating building systems, life safety components and overall asset condition
• Preparing technical reports and recommendations
• Supporting due diligence and capital planning projects
• Working directly with owners, investors and real estate professionals
• Collaborating with senior consultants on complex assessments

They’re looking for:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture
• 3+ years of architectural experience
• Experience with construction documents and technical drawings
• Strong understanding of building systems and construction practices
• Strong technical writing and communication skills
• Comfortable getting out into the field and assessing existing buildings
• Existing building assessment, forensic or consulting experience is a plus, but not essential

Why consider the move?

This is an opportunity to take the architectural skills you've already developed and apply them in a completely different way.

You’ll gain exposure to commercial real estate, due diligence, capital planning and building consulting, while developing relationships directly with the people making significant decisions about major assets.

If you're an Architect who enjoys understanding how buildings actually perform and wants to move towards a more strategic, advisory and client-facing career, this could be a very interesting next step.
