Job Description

As the newest member of our talented team, you will play a vital role in directing projects through design, documentation, and coordination. You're a licensed architect with 10+ years of project leadership and project management experience. You catch coordination issues early, push consultants for real answers, and give clients straight information. You're comfortable being the face of a project — delivering good news and hard news the same way, and holding your ground when scope, schedule, or budget need protecting. You know when a technical issue calls for the CEO's involvement, and you see that as good judgment, not a limitation. If you're ready for a role where your judgment, follow-through, and project ownership set the standard for the team around you, let's talk!

• Reviewing drawings, specifications, and documentation for accuracy, completeness, and constructability
• Directing full trade coordination across structural, MEP, civil, and other consultants
• Tracking schedules, budgets, consultant deliverables, and client decision points
• Managing construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, ASIs/addenda, field observations, and open issue tracking with CEO input on complex issues
• Mentoring Project Architects, Designers, and other team members while holding the team accountable to deadlines and quality expectations
• Traveling to project sites up to 30% depending on project and firm needs
