Job description

We’re not your average design collaborative, so we’re not looking for your average Job Captain either. We define ourselves as a collaborative because this is the trait that lies at the heart of how we work… Collaboratively.

We are thinkers and doers.

We are visionary and grounded.

We are design-focused and results-oriented.

We don’t believe design happens in a vacuum, nor do we believe in big reveals.

We believe the best solutions are co-authored, and that design is an iterative process.

We like dialogue and debate, and we believe everyone has a voice because there are never any bad ideas.

We put the customers (animals and robots included) at the heart of everything we create, which means:

• every design is created from a place of relentless curiosity
• we dive deep to inhabit the personas of our end users
• we pressure test our concepts against one metric above all others: have we exceeded expectations of those who experience the spaces we create?

We’re also champions for diversity as a design collaborative, drawing from all experience levels and cultural backgrounds within our team of “Bergies” – intentionally staffing project teams inclusively to represent the diverse perspectives of the world around us.

We tend to do our best work with those that feel the same way… Are you that somebody?

We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic team member based in LA that exudes positivity, approaches work with a collaborative style.

Qualifications:

• Professional Degree in Architecture
• On track for licensure preferred
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office
• Minimum of 3 years of recent design office experience

Essential Skills and Responsibilities:

• Ability to graphically communicate an idea quickly and effectively, backed by strong technical capabilities regarding building construction and technologies, millwork detailing, and consultant coordination
• Participation in the full design process from conceptual design through Construction Administration as a member of the project team

• Experience with technical projects
• Strong organizational skills
• Prepare design development and construction document packages with project teams, consultants, contractors, and vendors

Travel is required.

Employees are expected to work out of our office 3+ days a week, consistent with Bergmeyer’s Flexible Work Policy.
