This position is full-time. ECA offers a flexible work environment, and following the onboarding period, employees may have the opportunity to work remotely for part of the week.

ECA is a small architectural and interior design firm with more than 35 years of experience. We foster a collaborative and supportive work environment built on trust, flexibility, and shared responsibility.

Our projects are generally small and are often led by one individual from design through construction. As a result, each team member has the opportunity to take ownership of their work, manage project responsibilities, and contribute directly to the successful completion of each project.

We support one another, meet regularly, and value the opportunity to learn and grow together as a team. We also provide flexibility in work schedules, provided that project deadlines, construction schedules, and client needs are met.

Compensation is commensurate with experience, with an anticipated salary range of $65,000 to $110,000, plus benefits. A detailed benefits summary will be provided to qualified candidates upon request.
