Project Architect​/Project Manager - Architecture in Irvine

Job Description Job Description

KSP Studio is growing — and we're looking for a Senior Project Manager who wants more than just another job managing paperwork. You'll lead architectural projects from concept through construction, build lasting client relationships, and mentor a talented team, all while working with a firm that's expanding its footprint.

If you're a licensed architect or seasoned PM who wants ownership over your projects, a real voice in how they're delivered, and a clear path to grow — this is the seat we're looking to fill.

• Guide projects from Schematic Design through Construction Documents and Permitting — across multiple projects at once
• Be the go-to expert on code analysis, CBC, and jurisdictional requirements
• Lead and coordinate internal staff and outside consultants to keep every project on track
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients — proactively solving problems before they become issues
• Shape how we deliver projects by contributing to internal design and technical knowledge-sharing

• 10+ years of architectural experience, including 5+ years in a senior or leadership role
• Hands-on experience managing full project delivery — design through permitting
• Strong command of CBC, IBC, and LEED standards, and Type I, II, and III construction
• Proven ability to keep complex projects on schedule and within scope
• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD; familiarity with project management/scheduling tools is a plus
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture
• California-licensed Architect strongly ; LEED accreditation a plus

• Competitive salary ($90K–$130K, based on experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• A collaborative, design-driven culture that values leadership and initiative
• Real opportunity for growth as we expand our work with clients
• A team that will actually let you lead — not just manage a checklist
