Job Captain

Design. Lead. Inspire. Build the Future with NOVUS.

At NOVUS Architecture + Interiors, the 2025 AIA Nevada Architecture Firm of the Year, we believe exceptional design begins with exceptional people.

We are seeking an experienced Job Captain to join our growing Las Vegas studio and play an important role in the design and delivery of meaningful projects throughout the Southwest. This is an opportunity for an architect who is passionate about design, understands how buildings are constructed, and is ready to take greater ownership of project delivery while working closely with experienced firm leadership.

Our work includes nationally recognized hospitality and retail destinations, award-winning residential communities, workplace environments, and civic projects. As a boutique design practice, NOVUS offers something larger firms often cannot: direct access to firm leadership, meaningful responsibility, a collaborative studio environment, and a genuine opportunity to shape the future of the practice.

At NOVUS, ideas are shared openly, mentorship happens naturally, and everyone has a voice in creating great architecture.

The Job Captain is a key member of the project team, responsible for leading the day-to-day production and coordination of project deliverables while supporting the Project Manager throughout the life of the project.
