The Architect II is a licensed mid-level project delivery leader responsible for producing and coordinating accurate, complete, and constructible architectural deliverables across multiple projects and/or major packages.

• Delivers multiple projects/deliverables packages accurately, completely, and on time.
• Maintains quality by coordinating impacts across the project and following QA+QC through confirmed completion, reducing repeat errors and rework, while applying role‑appropriate life‑safety and HSW diligence and documenting key risks within assigned scope.
• Breaks scope of work into clear assignments with due dates, standards to follow, and a definition of “done,” then follows up to ensure the work is complete, on time, and to BHDP quality expectations.
• Coaches and delegates through actionable markups and short check‑ins so the team delivers consistently, increases speed/accuracy and grows independence.
• Identifies coordination, constructability, and code/life‑safety issues early and develops viable options/updates tied to Success Criteria, design intent, and other project constraints.

• Works with others and cooperates effectively across the project team and with consultants by communicating clear status, roadblocks, and next steps with predictable follow‑through.
• Provides actionable peer review input and drives assigned‑scope review items to confirmed completion, including design intent, constructability, and other project constraints.
• Protects BHDP and the client through integrity and professionalism, including ownership of assigned scope, role‑appropriate HSW diligence, and disciplined documentation of key decisions and risks.
• Promotes licensure and credentialing by mentoring others, encouraging progress, and reinforcing appropriate title/use and professional practice.
• Maintains a rolling look‑ahead across projects, prioritizes effectively, and keeps assigned scope/deliverables milestone‑ready without last‑minute delivery.
• Tracks hours‑to‑plan and escalates scope/schedule risks early—with coordination and clear recovery options—supported by accurate, on‑time timekeeping to protect fee and schedule.
