Job description

Licensed Architect (Ultra‑Luxury Residential), Miami, FL ($90k-100k plus $10k bonus)

We are a premier luxury real estate development firm specializing in ultra‑high‑end custom estates in exclusive communities throughout South Florida. Our portfolio includes waterfront mansions, architecturally significant residences, and world‑class luxury properties built to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design.

POSITION SUMMARY

We're hiring a mid‑level Licensed Architect to lead the design and execution of custom luxury single‑family residences. You'll work directly with principals, clients, consultants, and contractors to produce homes that are architecturally distinctive, technically rigorous, and built to last. This is a hands‑on role with significant project ownership — not a production seat.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead design across all phases: programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting, bidding, and construction administration
• Develop floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed construction drawings for custom single‑family homes
• Collaborate with structural, MEP, civil, landscape, and interior design consultants to coordinate a complete set of documents
• Manage the permitting process with local jurisdictions, including zoning, HOA, and code review
• Conduct site visits, respond to RFIs, review submittals, and support construction administration through project close‑out
• Work directly with the principals to translate vision into buildable design
• Create Moldboard and Interior Design Sets
• Maintain project budgets, schedules, and design quality across multiple concurrent projects
• Stay current on building codes, materials, sustainability practices, and luxury residential trends

QUALIFICATIONS

• Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch) from an accredited program
• Knowledge in Interior Design
• Active architectural license in Florida (Texas a plus; willingness to pursue reciprocity required)
• 5–8 years of professional experience, with a meaningful portion focused on custom single‑family residential
• Demonstrated portfolio of high‑end residential work — ground‑up custom homes, ideally in the $3M+ construction cost range
• Proficiency in Revit (required), AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape/Lumion or equivalent rendering tools, and Adobe Creative Suite
• Deep working knowledge of the Florida Building Code, including high‑velocity hurricane zone requirements where applicable
• Strong detailing skills and a refined design sensibility — clients will see the work
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable presenting to sophisticated clients and managing consultants
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing design quality or schedule control

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with coastal construction, waterfront properties, or hurricane‑resilient design
• Familiarity with traditional, transitional, and contemporary architectural vocabularies (clients vary)
• LEED AP or other sustainability credentials
• Relationships with South Florida contractors, consultants, and municipal officials
• Experience working in an owner/developer environment rather than a pure service firm

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus tied to project delivery and design quality
• Direct exposure to principals and meaningful design ownership — your work, your name on it
• A pipeline of well‑capitalized projects with clients who care about design
