Architectural Project Manager – Multifamily & Mixed-Use (Dallas, TX)

Experience: 5+ years

Employment Type: Full-time

Are you an Architectural Project Manager who wants every project to look different from the last one? We're a fast-growing national architecture firm, and we're hiring a project leader for our Dallas studio. You'll guide multifamily, mixed-use and commercial projects from first concept through construction closeout.

About Us

We're a team of about 200 architects and designers with offices across the country. Our core is multifamily design, and we also work on high-rise, mixed-use, student housing, senior housing, hospitality, retail and interior design projects. Our approach is methodically unconventional. We design clever spaces with a clear purpose and put out some of the cleanest construction documents in the industry. We start every project fresh instead of recycling old drawings, and we still hit tight timelines and budgets.

Our culture is ambitious, casually professional and free of pretension. We hire leaders and people who want to become leaders. We value loud voices, honest critique and real teamwork.
