• Perform code, accessibility, and life safety analysis; coordinate permitting and respond to agency comments.
• Coordinate deliverables, priorities, and deadlines with the project manager; flag scope changes and schedule risks early.
• Handle construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, field observations, and follow-up with contractors and consultants.
• Review drawings for accuracy, constructability, and consistency with project requirements and firm standards.
• Maintain clear client and team communication and mentor junior and mid-level staff.

• 12+ years of architectural experience, including independently leading projects through construction documentation and construction administration.
• Architectural licensure strongly preferred.
• Experience with commercial, medical office, core and shell, or comparable projects.
• Strong working proficiency in Revit and BIM coordination, with a willingness to remain hands-on in production.
• Practical knowledge of building codes, exterior envelopes, construction detailing, and building systems coordination.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage concurrent project priorities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite.
