Aviation Architect

Bring your experience. Find your people. Build what matters. Help Build What’s Next in Aviation.

At Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC) we believe great work happens when talented people have the trust, resources, and support to do their best work.

We’re looking for an Aviation Architect who wants more than a role on a massive airport project. This is an opportunity to join an established Architectural Team with a growing aviation practice and help build that practice from the ground up
. Our work today is focused on regional airports, including terminal buildings, hangars, administration and operations facilities, renovations, and other aviation-related infrastructure. Over time, we expect that platform to grow—and we want the person in this role to grow with it.

If you’re an architect who enjoys working closely with engineers, solving real-world problems, talking with clients, and seeing projects move from concept through construction, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work as a key member of our architecture team, partnering closely with our aviation engineers and other A/E professionals to deliver thoughtful, practical projects for airport clients.

Your work may include:

• Leading architectural design for regional airport projects, including terminals, hangars, administration buildings, maintenance facilities, and renovations.
• Working side-by-side with aviation, civil, structural, MEP, and other engineering disciplines to develop coordinated solutions.
• Taking projects from early planning and programming through design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration.
• Developing concepts, presentations, drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Participating in client meetings and helping translate airport needs into buildable solutions.
• Developing an understanding of FAA, airport, building code, accessibility, and other applicable requirements.
• Visiting project sites and working directly with owners, contractors, and consultants.
• Helping identify opportunities with existing and prospective aviation clients.
• Contributing to the growth of our aviation practice, not simply executing work that has already been won.

This Role Has Room to Grow

We’re intentionally building this practice with the long term in mind.

You won’t be walking into a fully built-out aviation architecture department with layers of management between you and the work.
You’ll have the opportunity to help define what our aviation practice becomes.

As the practice grows, we see opportunities for this person to take on increasing responsibility for:

• Client relationships and business development
• Project and team leadership
• Mentoring and developing architectural staff
• Building repeat work with airport clients
• Pursuing larger and more complex aviation projects

Our immediate focus is on regional airports and the facilities that keep them operating
. We believe that is a great place to build a strong aviation practice—and a strong career. As our relationships and capabilities grow, so can the size and complexity of the airports and projects we pursue.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is both a good architect and a good teammate
.

You’ll likely be a strong fit if you have:

• A professional degree in Architecture.
• Architectural licensure, or a clear path toward licensure.
• 5+ years of architectural experience
  , preferably with aviation, transportation, public-sector, or other technically complex projects.
• Experience taking projects through multiple phases of design and documentation.
• Strong…
