• Unlike traditional design firms, our projects tend to last 3 to 6 months and will expose the candidate to a variety of building, campus, and client types, such as corporate, municipal, and higher education.
• Applicant should be aware that a large amount of time in this position will be spent in producing, writing, and editing reports and/or documents. Skill and experience in technical writing and graphic development is a plus.
• While this position requires a working knowledge of the field of architecture and building assembly/construction, this position is not design-related and is purely a pre-project planning position.
