Job description

About Us:

At AM Architects, we believe a home should go beyond beautiful, crafted to inspire, perform, and feel deeply personal. Based in Richardson/Dallas, we design custom homes, major renovations, and high-end duplexes with an unwavering focus on health, performance, and craft.

We're a small, collaborative studio led by architects who still show up on job sites, because for us, this isn't just a business model, it's how we were raised. We're looking for someone who sees a home as more than square footage, and treats every detail, and every client relationship like it matters.

The Role:

We are looking for a Project Manager (or Senior PM, depending on experience) to help lead our projects from first conversation to final walkthrough. You'll own scope, schedule, and budget while protecting design intent and the client relationship along the way.

This is a client-facing role at a firm that wins work through trust and conversation, not competitive bidding, so how you communicate matters as much as how well you run a schedule.

What You’ll Do:

• Own day-to-day management of 3–5 active custom home and renovation projects, from schematic design through construction administration
• Serve as a key client point of contact, leading meetings, setting expectations, and translating technical decisions into plain language
• Coordinate consultants, engineers, and builder partners to keep documents, budgets, and timelines aligned
• Track schedules and fee budgets and lead support staff in delivering project drawings throughout the process
• Review submittals and RFIs during construction; get on site to confirm design intent is actually being built
• Help mentor junior staff and keep studio process consistent across projects

What You Bring:

• 6+ years managing architecture projects from design through construction custom or high-end residential experience strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of the full project lifecycle, loves detailing and working through coordination with consultants, takes creating quality drawings personally.
• Genuine interest in how buildings perform, not just how they look, Passive House, building science, or high-performance home experience is a strong plus
• BArch or MArch degree required
• Proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, MS Office, Adobe Suite, Enscape
• Architectural licensure or progress toward licensure is a requirement for this role

Our Culture:

We're small by choice, small enough that your work is visible, your voice carries weight, and you're never just a number. We believe great design happens in the room together, so we ask for 3-4 anchor days in the studio each week, the rest is yours to work where you focus best. We take craft seriously and ourselves lightly. If a well-detailed roof assembly gets you as excited as a good rendering, you'll fit right in.
