Description

RIOS is an international design collective. We are actively in pursuit of wonder within the design of the built environment. We believe design is an act of optimism through which invention and ideas change the world. We practice interconnected design across architecture, placemaking, and landscape architecture to define design as a continuum.

We follow a process that begins with attunement, where program and context shape strong conceptual thinking to establish a holistically informed big idea through which we develop form, confirm function, and define experience as the basis on which to explore ecology, material, and tectonic expression. We are known for our bold solutions that are inclusive of the wider context and are ever mindful that an interdisciplinary approach to design brings about inclusive, resilient, and original solutions that ensure diversity and resilience.

We have an immediate opening for a highly skilled and experienced Senior Project Architect who brings both strong design sensibility and advanced technical execution. The ideal candidate will play a key role in transforming design concepts into fully realized, technically sound buildings, ensuring design integrity through all phases of project development and delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the technical development of design concepts from schematic design through construction documentation, permitting and construction administration.
• Collaborate closely with design principals, consultants, and clients to ensure project goals and timelines are met.
• Assist with the management of junior team members.
• Prepare and manage construction document sets, detailing, code compliance, and quality assurance.
• Provide mentorship and technical leadership to junior team members.
• Review and resolve complex building systems and technical challenges.
• Communication, coordination and management of consultants, contractors, clients, regulatory agencies and approving bodies to meet overall project objectives.
  
  

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture from an accredited program.
• 10+ years of relevant professional experience in architecture.
• Registered architect in Texas.
• Demonstrated excellence in both design and technical development across diverse project types.
• Excellent ability in Revit and other relevant industry software. Cursory knowledge of Rhino preferred.
• Thorough understanding and experience working in BIM. The ideal candidate will have experience working with a Rhino to Revit workflow.
• Solid knowledge of zoning/building codes, materials, and construction methodologies.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and leadership skills.
• A keen attention to detail and eye for accuracy.
• Proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to take initiative in response to direction from directors and partners.
