Job description

Great work starts with a good conversation and a team that’s excited to build something meaningful together.

Cline is an integrated, nationwide design firm bringing architecture, interior design, planning, landscape architecture, land planning, and branding under one roof. We partner with clients to shape places people truly experience—homes, neighborhoods, communities, and workplaces that feel intentional, human, and rooted in purpose.

We’re always looking for curious, collaborative teammates: people who communicate clearly, take pride in craft, and believe the best ideas get better when disciplines work side‑by‑side. If you’re drawn to thoughtful design, strong relationships, and a culture that supports growth (and celebrates wins along the way), we’d love to connect.

Explore our open roles and apply today—let’s build what’s next, together.

We have openings for talented Project Architects in our Raleigh and Charlotte offices. Candidates will have expertise in multi‑family housing, have significant Revit experience, strong design skills, and possess a strong knowledge of building codes.

Day to Day Responsibilities

• Manage projects to meet budget, scheduling, project scope, and quality objectives
• Responsible for finished plans, specifications, and material approval within project scope, schedule, and budget
• Plan, coordinate, and assist Project Manager on multiple concurrent projects in various stages of development
• Organize and coordinate project construction document sets
• Perform code research and analysis of local, state, and federal codes to ensure code compliance
• Ensure constructability and implement architectural standards of practice
• Client and consultant coordination to oversee accurate and timely completion of construction documents
• Participate in all aspects of construction administration (in office and on site)
• Conduct, or assist with, in‑house training, as well as mentor Designers
• May supervise a small staff of Architects and Designers

What we look for

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Architecture from an accredited university
• Experience with multi‑family and mixed‑used projects preferred
• Minimum five (5) years of professional experience
• Professional Licensure required | NC Architectural Registration preferred
• Proficiency in 3D modeling, visualization, and graphic software
• Revit experience is required
• Experience in client, consultant relationships/managing
• Demonstrated skills in project design, production and coordination of construction documents, and contract administration
• Effective verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to interact positively with others, to solve problems, and to constructively communicate those solutions to others
• Ability to prioritize tasks, handle multiple deadlines, and perform the responsibilities effectively and on time with a high degree of accuracy
• Ability to work well both independently, and as a part of a team

We offer a full benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, disability insurance, supplementary insurance, flexible spending, and 401k with employer contribution. In addition, PTO, professional development assistance, and other perks are provided.
