• Proven ability to manage complex architectural projects with overlapping deadlines and shifting priorities
• Comfortable with a fast-paced workflow, organized, and adaptable as project needs evolve

• Desire to contribute positively to a team environment and a culture that is inclusive, fun, engaged, and curious

Qualifications

• Alignment with Space Craft’s mission to build walkable neighborhoods and sustainable buildings is essential

The Role

You will be apart of complex projects from early concept through full permit set delivery. You will guide project execution, coordinate with consultants, and oversee the development of clear, buildable construction documents.

• Lead projects from schematic design through permit submission
• Develop clear drawing sets and resolve technical challenges to ensure coordinated, code-compliant, and buildable documentation at every stage
• Ensure construction documents are appropriately detailed, prepared for a smooth permit review process, and practically buildable
• Coordinate closely with partners to translate design goals into well-integrated, technically-sound solutions
• Maintain high standards of quality and consistency across all phases

Construction Administration

• Review submittals and issue clarifications
• Ensure the technical integrity of the drawings is upheld throughout the construction phase

Personal & Team Growth

• Reserve time to connect with teammates, find mentors, and contribute ideas that improve our developments, our business, and our team. We want you to be in sync with the broader company and understand the big picture behind our development projects.
• Read, learn, find inspiration, and participate in professional organizations outside of work. Do what you need to do to stay creative.
• Travel occasionally to other Space Craft offices for in-person time with teammates
• Gather for team offsites twice annually
• Attend occasional events and conferences

Compensation

• Competitive and commensurate with experience
