Job Title:
Architect / Technical Designer
This role offers the opportunity to join a leading global architecture and design practice as an Architect or Technical Designer, focusing on high-profile, design-forward commercial interiors. You will primarily produce interior construction documents in Revit and create high-quality renderings, collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team to deliver innovative workplace environments. Licensed candidates may step into a Project Architect capacity, while unlicensed professionals will contribute as Technical Designers, both playing a key role in translating design concepts into fully realized 2D and 3D documentation and visualizations.
Responsibilities- Collaborate with the design team to develop innovative interior design solutions for commercial projects and workplace environments.
- Participate in all phases of the project, including conceptual design, presentations, schematic design, design development, and construction documentation.
- Translate architects’ sketches and design intent into accurate 2D and 3D Revit models, drawings, and images.
- Produce graphic presentations, high-quality 3D renderings, and detailed construction drawings that clearly communicate design concepts.
- Utilize hand rendering techniques when appropriate to convey design ideas and progression.
- Coordinate design and documentation with clients, consultants, contractors, fabricators, regulatory agencies, and other vendors to meet overall project objectives.
- For licensed Architect/Project Architect roles, manage client, team, and project coordination, including full documentation coordination with structural, MEP, lighting, AV, landscape, and civil consultants.
- Support clear communication among project team members, clients, vendors, contractors, consultants, and building and permitting officials.
- Provide technical guidance and propose innovative solutions to resolve complex technical and design challenges throughout the project lifecycle.
- Maintain project manuals and specifications, ensuring they are accurate, current, and aligned with project requirements.
- Conduct and document site visits during construction, monitoring progress and adherence to design intent.
- Process submittals, substitution requests, and RFIs during construction, coordinating responses with the project team and consultants.
- Research artistic and technical issues as they arise, ensuring that design solutions are both visually compelling and technically sound.
- Demonstrate outstanding graphic presentation skills by producing visuals that clearly show design process and progression.
- Contribute to a collaborative studio culture by building strong working relationships across the firm and with external stakeholders.
- Minimum of 4+ years of architecture and design experience, with a strong background designing multiple building typologies of varying scale.
- Proficiency in Revit at a professional level, including experience producing interior construction documents and detailed models.
- Strong rendering skills, with the ability to create high-quality visualizations that show design progression and process.
- Experience in interior architecture and commercial interior design, including workplace and other commercial typologies.
- Licensed architect for candidates pursuing the Project Architect role.
- Proficiency with design modeling and visualization tools such as Rhino, Sketch Up, and Enscape.
- Proficiency with production software, including the Adobe Creative Suite.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills applied to both design and technical challenges.
- Outstanding graphic presentation skills, with portfolios that clearly explain project context and the candidate’s role.
- Ability to develop and maintain collaborative relationships across the firm, with clients, and with consultants and vendors.
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience using Enscape or similar real-time rendering tools to produce interior visualizations.
- Portfolios that clearly demonstrate design process, including renderings showing progression and concise descriptions of each project and the candidate’s specific contributions.
- Experience with computational tools such as Grasshopper or Dynamo to support design and documentation workflows.
- Experience with Excel for data management and project-related analysis.
- Experience with video and animation software such as After Effects and Premiere is a plus.
- Familiarity with sustainable design software for climate, comfort, and life-cycle…
