Job description

In 1984, three young architects embarked on a journey to design and build spaces that enhance and uplift the way communities live, learn, and serve. From the early days of working out of a spare bedroom and holding meetings by a furnace in the hallway, the purpose has always been to provide better service and create and build exceptional architecture that reflects the values of our clients. Today, the vision remains clear – forge lasting, honest partnerships, draw on expertise while keeping a finger on the pulse of change and innovation, and always invest in one another.

Forty-one years later, we have grown to a 180+ person firm through our unwavering dedication to collaborating with clients, innovative design, and building spaces that nurture a sense of ownership and pride in the community served. With offices in Texas (Dallas, Houston, College Station, and McAllen) and San Francisco, we serve clients who plan for the future of their environments to create spaces that inspire and represent the entire community.

However, we couldn’t do it without our people. At BRW, people are fundamental to everything we do. We thrive on ingenuity, expertise, and creativity born out of connection. Together, we are innovators, designers, collaborators, lifelong learners, and colleagues dedicated to a workplace where we invest in one another. Focusing on cultivating an environment where creativity and ideas thrive…and careers grow is what matters.

Project Architects are leaders in the production and coordination of project documents. We manage the day-to-day progress of one or more projects to implement design direction, maintain BRW quality standards, and achieve the highest level of service to our Clients. We support the Project Managers and Principals in tracking job costs and schedules. We lead and mentor junior team members in project role development to strengthen our team’s performance.

Day-to-day, your role includes:

• Project Architect for the San Francisco Civic studio
• Focused strength in creating and producing successful projects in the Public Safety and additional civic building types
• Communicate daily with architectural staff team members to implement the project workplan and project tasks in coordination with the Project Manager
• Track project schedules, budget, and deliverable requirements
• Report project progress and coordination status to Project Managers and Principals
• Consistently communicate with project team consultants to identify and resolve coordination issues and ensure project progress
• Coordinate with Governing Authorities to ensure project code compliance
• Implement design direction in coordination with Design and Interiors teams
• Develop project technical specifications and material selection
• Lead project Construction Administration
• Check-in with team members to maintain efficiency, engagement, and role development

As you grow your career with us, you’ll enjoy a host of great benefits. Our firm’s benefits package includes comprehensive coverage starting on day one. It comes complete with access to counselors and legal professionals, along with supplemental benefits. Need pet insurance? We have that, too. At BRW, we know taking time to rest and recharge is vital to a healthy career, so we offer vacation, sick, and mental health days – it’s yours to use. Our firm believes in work-life balance, so we’ve implemented flexible hours. Whether you’re an early or late riser, start your day when you want so you can be your most productive. We also offer extensive professional development opportunities: mentorship, LinkedIn Learning, AIA certifications, guest seminars, and more. Finally, as a team, we strive to know one another as people first and offer the time and space to unplug and connect with one another.

BRW is searching for colleagues that believe the same. Come grow with us and find out why Louis says "people know you, root for you, and want to see you do well", Cory developed “the necessary skills to become a well‑rounded professional”, and Andrea has found “the kind of friends that last a lifetime.”
