• Coordinate with internal engineering disciplines and external consultants to produce fully integrated project solutions.
• Ensure project deliverables meet firm standards, client expectations, and program-specific requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of architectural experience, ideally with retail or commercial building programs.
• Architectural license not required, but would be a plus.

• Minimum 5 years of Revit experience (modeling, documentation, coordination).
• Strong skills in construction documents, detailing, and presentation development.
• In-depth knowledge of building codes, accessibility standards, and retail program best practices.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to represent the firm professionally and clearly to clients.
• Demonstrated experience leading project teams or guiding junior staff.

• Experience managing multiple projects within a program or account structure.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to maintain consistency across repeated project types.
• Creative, solution-oriented mindset with a collaborative, client-first approach.
