Job description

About You //

• You are passionate about the impact of design and enjoy solving complex problems through thoughtful, well executed solutions.

• You move fluidly between concept, modeling, visualization, detailing, and documentation, with the results to show for it. You use Revit as a design tool to explore ideas quickly, develop concepts through iteration, and translate design intent into coordinated, buildable solutions.

• You are comfortable both shaping design and developing the ideas of others. You understand when to challenge, when to contribute, and when to listen and execute with precision.

• You communicate well, collaborate naturally, and care about producing exceptional work.

• You take pride in contributing to a practice known for thoughtful design, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.

Your Experience //

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Architecture or Interior Design.

• Four to seven years of experience in an architecture or interior design firm, with a focus on commercial office, mixed use, hospitality, or retail projects.

• Experience in all phases of architectural services from Programming through Construction Administration.

• A collaborative and professional approach to the work.

• Strong proficiency in Revit for three dimensional modeling, visualization, and documentation, including a meaningful understanding of parameters, family development and work-sharing.

• Comfortable learning and applying new digital tools, workflows, and techniques into daily practice.

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate and direct the work efforts of project teams a plus.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, Revit and AutoCAD required.

About Us //

At Origin, our project teams are intentionally structured to create exposure across multiple phases, helping team members build broader experience beyond a single role or stage of work. Team members work closely with firm leadership, contribute meaningfully to the development of design concepts, and help advance those ideas into thoughtful, buildable solutions.

Our work spans workplace, hospitality, food and beverage, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse projects. While much of our work is concentrated along the East Coast, we regularly collaborate with clients nationwide.

Your Work //

Please share a portfolio demonstrating strong design thinking, conceptual development, visualization, presentation, and construction documentation. Examples of digital workflows, custom tools, or process development are also welcome.
