• Collaborating with staff and providing mentorship to create a positive atmosphere for learning and professional growth.
• Coordinating with subconsultants and internal project teams to execute cohesive, fully integrated drawing sets.
• Managing architectural submissions to building departments, including plan check revisions, and handling coordination with expeditors and accounting.
• Following the defined scope and pricing plan throughout documentation and detailing phases.
• Maintaining attention to project schedules, design fees, budgets, and reimbursable costs to support successful project delivery.
• Supporting construction administration efforts, including review of RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings as needed.
• Ensuring drawing consistency and quality by applying Wolcott’s CAD/Revit standards and documentation practices.

Skills & Qualifications:

• 5–10+ years of experience in architecture or interior architecture, ideally within commercial or workplace environments.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit required; familiarity with Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office a plus.
• Strong knowledge of IBC, CBC, ADA, Title 24, and relevant jurisdictional review processes.
• Experience coordinating with MEP, structural, lighting, and other consultants.
• Familiarity with BOMA standards and general understanding of construction costs and scheduling.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• NCIDQ, LEED AP, or similar certifications are a plus but not required.
