Location: Austin, TX
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Us: We are an established, design-driven architecture and planning practice delivering complex, high-profile projects across Texas and nationally. Our work spans large-scale multifamily, mixed‑use, residential, commercial, and urban development environments where strong design, technical execution, and collaboration are equally important.
- Our Austin studio offers the resources and project sophistication of a respected multidisciplinary practice with the visibility, flexibility, and career growth of a collaborative local team.
The Position: We are seeking an experienced Project Architect to join our Austin studio, with a primary focus on Mixed-Use and Multifamily projects. This role is ideal for a seasoned architectural professional who can take ownership of project documentation, technical coordination, consultant integration, code compliance, and day‑to‑day architectural delivery across large, complex residential and mixed‑use developments. You will work closely with project managers, senior architects, designers, consultants, and clients while helping guide projects from design development through construction documentation, permitting, and construction administration.
What You’ll Do
- Lead architectural project delivery across Mixed-Use, Multifamily, Residential, and related project types
- Develop and coordinate projects from design development through construction documentation and construction administration
- Lead project documentation and coordination within Revit‑based BIM environments
- Prepare, review, and coordinate architectural drawings, details, specifications, and construction documents
- Coordinate closely with structural, MEP, civil, landscape, and specialty consultants
- Maintain consistency between design intent, technical requirements, and constructability
- Support project permitting and agency coordination
- Ensure documentation complies with applicable building codes, accessibility requirements, and jurisdictional standards
- Participate in internal project reviews, client meetings, consultant meetings, and coordination sessions
- Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction‑phase documentation
- Assist with field observations and resolution of construction‑related issues
- Support project schedules, milestones, and deliverable planning
- Perform QA/QC reviews of project documentation
- Mentor Job Captains, Designers, and junior architectural staff
- Collaborate closely with Project Managers and senior leadership to ensure successful project delivery

- 10+ years of professional experience in architecture required

- Significant experience operating in a Project Architect or comparable technical leadership capacity
- Strong project experience within Multifamily, Mixed‑Use, Residential, or similarly complex project environments
- Proven experience leading projects through design development, construction documentation, permitting, and construction administration
- Advanced Revit proficiency required
- Strong hands‑on experience producing and coordinating complex architectural models and construction document sets
- Strong understanding of architectural detailing, building systems, materials, and construction methods
- Solid knowledge of building codes, accessibility standards, and permitting requirements
- Strong consultant and multidisciplinary coordination experience
- Experience reviewing and managing comprehensive construction document packages
- Experience with Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and related architectural/project management tools
- Excellent communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills

What’s Offered
- Highly Competitive Base Salary: $110,000-140,000 (DOE)
- Annual performance‑based bonus opportunities
- Generous PTO, Vacation, Sick & Holiday Programs
- Professional development and continuing education support
- Architectural licensure and professional organization support
- Exposure to large-scale Mixed‑Use, Multifamily, Residential, and urban development projects
- Strong project pipeline and long‑term organizational stability
- Collaborative studio environment with access to experienced design and technical leadership
- Opportunity to take on increasing project ownership and client responsibility
- Clear growth path into Senior Project Architect, Project Manager, Associate, and future leadership roles
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Architect who wants to build depth in large‑scale multifamily and mixed‑use architecture while taking on meaningful ownership across the full project lifecycle.
- You will have direct involvement in project coordination, technical documentation, consultant management, construction administration, and team leadership rather than being limited to a production‑only role.
- For architects with 10+ years of experience looking to grow within the Austin market, this position offers a strong combination of project quality, hybrid flexibility, technical leadership, and long‑term advancement potential.
