Doug Aitken Workshop is hiring an architectural designer/project manager to join its team in Venice, California.

Doug Aitken Workshop is seeking a talented architectural designer/project manager to work on the design and realization of international contemporary art, architecture and installation projects.

We are looking for a sharp, highly motivated architect and designer with the ability to make ambitious projects happen. The ideal candidate combines creative and architectural thinking with the ability to drive complex projects forward — strategically, technically, budgetarily and practically — from initial concept through fabrication and installation.

This role combines design and project leadership, requiring someone who can develop ideas into thoughtful, well-resolved projects and independently drive them through realization.

Responsibilities/experience:

• design and develop artworks, installations, exhibitions and architectural projects from concept through realization
• develop designs, details, drawings, 3D models and presentation materials
• manage projects through technical development, fabrication and installation
• research materials, fabrication methods and technical solutions
• establish and maintain project strategies, schedules, budgets and deliverables
• coordinate collaborators including architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, institutions and other partners
• work directly with fabricators to develop details, prototypes, samples and finished work

Strong architectural or design background, developed aesthetic sensibility and excellent organizational, communication and problem-solving skills required.

Proficiency in Rhino and Adobe Creative Suite preferred. Experience taking complex architectural, design-build, custom fabrication or other one-off projects from design into physical realization is highly valued.

Position is in-person and based in Los Angeles. Schedule and scope of engagement may vary depending on experience and availability.
