The ideal candidate seeks to apply their previous work experience to make an immediate impact and take stake in large-scale, typologically and geographically diverse projects.

We endorse a broad spectrum of professional development avenues and support ARE/Licensure, LEED, and Well AP candidates as well as support for individualized areas of growth and research based on personal interests.
Responsibilities include:
- generating design at a variety of scales – from interiors to building form and masterplanning
- taking ownership of elements of the design
- involvement with and responsibility for components of the coordination process with consultants
- creating renderings and visuals for project presentations
- directing other members of the team through the design/documentation process
- presenting work generated by the team to outside clients and consultants
- working on drawing sets throughout the lifespan of the project
- involvement in the CA process and site visits
Our ideal candidate will have:
- a degree in Architecture or related field
- three to six years’ of professional work experience, post-graduation
- a strong design sense architecturally and graphically
