• Relevant commercial or office-project experience and the ability to develop details from sketches and written or verbal architectural direction.
  
• Ability to complete assigned drawings independently, identify technical issues and incorporate the lead architect’s review without requiring every detail to be drawn for you.
  
• Accuracy, responsiveness and the ability to deliver reliable documentation within a compressed project schedule.
  
• Availability for approximately 30 hours per week during the first four weeks, followed by approximately 10 hours per week for two weeks of revisions.

The initial engagement is expected to last approximately six weeks. Additional work may follow, depending on future projects.

Application

Remote opportunity supporting an established U.S.-based architecture practice.

Hands-on involvement in a substantial commercial renovation and addition project.

Clear architectural design direction and ongoing technical review from the lead architect.

Guidance on project-specific behavioral health requirements, equipment layouts, and specialized safety details.
