At BHDP, we believe great design does more than define spaces—it influences behavior, drives performance, and creates meaningful experiences. Guided by our purpose to Inspire People and Impact Results, By Design, we collaborate across architecture, interiors, strategy, and research to solve complex challenges in integrated ways. Here, your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and your work has the power to shape experiences that truly make a difference.

The Designer III supports project teams through design exploration, planning, and Revit production with increased responsibility for technical quality, coordination, and independent execution of project deliverables. This role is ideal for a collaborative, detail-oriented designer who can lead day-to-day production for portions of a project, proactively coordinate with consultants and internal disciplines, and mentor junior designers while continuing to grow in design thinking and technical delivery.

• Delivers multiple projects and 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.” 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 design, coordination, constructability, and code/life-safety issues early and develops viable options/updates tied to Success Criteria, design intent, and other project constraints.
• Escalates higher-risk items appropriately, documents key assumptions and decisions, and applies lessons learned to prevent recurrence through standards-aligned solutions.
• 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.
• Maintains a rolling look-ahead across projects, prioritizes effectively, and adheres to assigned scope, deliverables, and milestones 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.

• Bachelor of Architecture degree (NAAB accredited program preferred)
• 6+ years in the design and architecture industry
• NCARB Record + AXP progress preferred
• Successful completion of a portion of the ARE test sections preferred

• Desire and willingness to learn and share knowledge with others
• Demonstrated initiative; sees challenges as opportunities
• Strong attention to detail
• Strong communication and collaboration within a team
• Models professional workplace behaviors: reliable follow-through, constructive feedback, and calm, solutions-oriented communication with co-workers and clients
