We’re looking for someone who is dedicated to delivering quality projects on time and budget; someone who is looking for the opportunity to lead and mentor. We work on everything from high-end residential to retail and restaurants to civic projects like city halls and public parks, so we’re also looking for someone who is excited to both learn new things and apply their existing knowledge in different ways.

In this role, you will be exposed to a variety of tasks, including:

• Leading client interactions
• Vetting fees and scope, and building project schedules
• Keeping projects on budget and schedule, while maintaining client satisfaction
• Overseeing the documentation of a project, prioritizing and assigning tasks
• Leading the project team as they develop design components and details and coordinate with consultants
• Resolving design and technical issues
• Participating in business development efforts on interview teams and on proposal responses

LEVY DYKEMA Is Looking For People Who

• Have a professional degree in Architecture; licensure preferred
• Have 8+ years of relevant architecture experience with a strong technical background
• Have experience providing direction to teams of 1-2 junior architects
• Develop lasting relationships with their team, their clients, and their stakeholders
• Are creative, analytical problem solvers
• Love teaching
• Are excellent in Revit (Sketchup, and Lumion, Enscape, Bluebeam, Adobe CS are all big pluses)
• Have deep understanding of code analysis, building systems, and how to tell a design’s story to through the contract documents

LEVY DYKEMA is proud of our diversity – in our team, in our projects, and in the work each person does to deliver our clients’ success. You’ll get the opportunity to be part of our close-knit, collaborative studio providing project leadership across a variety of project types. People here are quick to lend a hand, supportive, and excited about both teaching and learning. We believe everyone has something to contribute and on a project team, each member gets the opportunity to influence the outcome of the project.

We engage our clients throughout the process to develop amazing solutions that meet their needs, intentions, and budgets. We elevate design through a balance of innovation and sound principals, where the focus is on the client experience throughout. LEVY DYKEMA is proud to bring a renewed focus to our clients and our craft.

We’re looking for people as exceptional as we are – entrepreneurial, adaptable, and fun to be around. We’ll give you the opportunity to own the success of multiple projects, leading a small team to deliver great documents and a great client experience. We pride ourselves on a “no drama” workplace; we enjoy each other’s company but know when it’s time to bear down and get the work done.

At LEVY DYKEMA, part of our Texas Contemporary spirit is our dedication and role of giving back to the community. We accomplish this through our community volunteer work as a company and individually.
