Architecture Project Manager

Omni Design is a generalist architecture, engineering and land survey firm rooted in San Luis Obispo County. We design commercial, civic, and municipal projects that directly improve the communities where our clients live and work — from Paso Robles and Atascadero to Santa Maria and everywhere in between.

We’re a small, close-knit team. That means you get real responsibility, real variety, and a real voice in the work — not a siloed role in a large bureaucracy. When you join Omni Design, you’re joining a team that cares deeply about craft, community, and each other.
