Job description

Who we are:

At Dwell, we like to think big and small – producing high minded concepts without losing sight of the details. We’re notoriously accurate: producing some of the cleanest documents this side of the galaxy. We’re methodically unconventional: designing clever spaces that aren’t outlandish or lacking purpose. And we’re solid people: easy to work with, fun to be around, and void of pretension.

Dwell's award-winning architectural and interiors teams work with both housing and retail developers, including some of the nation’s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts, in designing high density, mixed-use, and urban infill projects. Our projects and offices span many states from Arizona to South Florida, up through DC, Virginia, and Maryland, and into New York and Connecticut. We have been awarded as one of the Best Places to Work in 2021 and for many years prior.

What you need to bring:

• Excellent leadership attributes to mentor supporting staff
• Exceptional time management, written, and verbal communication skills
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through ability
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Have a positive attitude
• Thorough understanding and preparation of design projects through all phases of development including the code and technical aspects
• Experience working with contractors through the construction phase
• Significant proficiency in Revit and capable of acting as a Revit Lead
• Experience in SketchUp a plus
• 10+ years of design experience primarily in Retail
• Professional license preferred but not required
• Professional degree from an accredited college or university
