Job description

Project Manager or Project Architect

Studio ELES

Studio ELES is an architecture and interiors firm focused on thoughtful design, strong client relationships, and the realization of simple, well-crafted projects.

We are intentionally small. Our size allows us to stay hands-on, work collaboratively, and give every member of our team meaningful involvement in the design and execution of our projects. We believe the best work comes from close collaboration—not only within the studio, but with our clients, consultants, contractors, and trade partners.

Our current work spans health + wellness, hospitality, institutional, and mixed‑use commercial projects, with opportunities to work across project types, scales, and phases of design and construction.

We are looking for a talented and motivated individual who cares about design and, equally important, how design becomes built work. In return, Studio ELES offers an environment that encourages professional growth through continued learning, direct project experience, and meaningful responsibility from the start.
