Job description

J. Cor Architecture is a Scottsdale-based residential architecture firm designing luxury custom homes, spec homes, and residential communities throughout Arizona, Utah, California, and Nevada.

Our work brings together thoughtful design and a strong understanding of how homes are built. Every project is considered in relation to the people who will live there, its setting, and the architectural principles that give it a distinct identity.

About the Role

J. Cor Architecture is seeking a talented and motivated Project Architect / Project Manager with 5–8 years of professional experience in residential architecture to join our Scottsdale office.

This is a hands-on role for an architect who enjoys being involved throughout the life of a project—from design and client collaboration through technical documentation, consultant coordination, permitting, and construction administration.

The ideal candidate is a strong designer and technical architect who can manage projects, communicate effectively with clients and consultants, and take ownership of producing thoughtful, well-coordinated architectural work.

Responsibilities

As a Project Architect / Project Manager, you will:

• Lead residential projects from early design through construction.
• Develop design concepts and translate them into well-resolved architectural solutions.
• Produce and oversee architectural drawings and construction documents in Revit.
• Manage project schedules, deliverables, and internal coordination.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients throughout the project.
• Coordinate with structural, MEP, civil, landscape, interior design, and other consultants.
• Guide projects through permitting and respond to jurisdictional comments.
• Review drawings for design intent, technical accuracy, constructability, and coordination.
• Participate in construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, site observations, and coordination with contractors.
• Collaborate closely with principals, designers, and production staff.
• Help maintain J. Cor Architecture’s standards for design quality and documentation.
• Mentor and provide direction to junior team members as appropriate.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has:

• 5–8 years of professional architectural experience, with a strong background in residential architecture.
• A professional degree in Architecture or a related field.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit and experience developing complete architectural construction document sets.
• Experience managing architectural projects and coordinating multidisciplinary consultant teams.
• A strong understanding of residential construction, detailing, building systems, and construction documentation.
• Knowledge of applicable building codes and permitting processes.
• Strong design sensibility, with the ability to carry design intent through technical documentation.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to communicate confidently and professionally with clients, consultants, contractors, and internal team members.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines while maintaining attention to detail.
• A collaborative, proactive, and solutions-oriented approach to project work.

Location

This position is based in our Scottsdale, Arizona studio and requires regular in-office collaboration. Candidates should currently live in the Phoenix metropolitan area or be willing to relocate.

• 3 weeks paid time off, plus bank holidays
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

What We’re Looking For

The right person for this position is comfortable moving between design, project management, and technical production. You should be equally comfortable discussing a design decision with a client, coordinating an engineering issue with a consultant, developing a detail in Revit, and working with a contractor to resolve a field condition.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of their projects, communicates clearly, cares about the quality of the work, and wants to play a meaningful role in the continued growth of J. Cor Architecture.
