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 are seeking experienced Project Managers for our Raleigh, Charlotte, and Austin offices. Candidates will have expertise in multi‑family housing, have significant Revit experience, strong design skills, and possess a strong knowledge of building codes.

• Responsible for project’s financial success
• Provide oversight and monitoring as needed of less experienced Project Managers
• May be the Team Leader or act in the capacity of the Team Leader
• Oversee/mentor a staff of Architects and Designers
• Assist with marketing and business development

What we look for

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Architecture from an accredited university
• Experience with multi‑family and mixed‑used projects preferred

• Proficiency in 3D modeling, visualization, and graphic software
• Revit experience is required
• Experience in client and consultant relationships/managing
• Demonstrated skills in project design, production and coordination of construction documents, and contract administration
