Architect, Engineering Design & Technologists

Job Title:

Project Architect (Job Captain / PM-Leaning)

Job Description

This role is ideal for an experienced project architect who independently manages complex projects, coordinates multidisciplinary consultants, and produces high-quality construction documents in Revit. You will work in a small-office, hybrid environment and contribute to all phases of the project lifecycle, from schematic design and code analysis through construction administration. This is a hands-on, production-focused position rather than a design-only role, offering broad exposure and responsibility on technically complex projects such as healthcare, hospitality, assisted living, laboratories, and correctional facilities.

Responsibilities

+ Independently manage complex architectural projects from early design through construction, acting as a Project Architect or Job Captain with PM-leaning responsibilities.

+ Lead and coordinate consultants across multiple disciplines to ensure fully integrated project delivery and consistent communication.

+ Produce complete, high-quality construction document sets using Revit, including full contract documents in cloud-based models.

+ Oversee and maintain Revit models in a cloud environment, ensuring accuracy, coordination, and alignment with project standards.

+ Contribute actively to all phases of a project, including schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration.

+ Prepare and review construction drawings and details that support buildable, code-compliant solutions for technically complex projects.

+ Apply knowledge of building codes, including familiarity with Washington and/or California codes and permitting processes, to support compliant project design and documentation.

+ Support and occasionally lead client meetings, presenting design concepts, technical solutions, and project updates in a clear and professional manner.

+ Manage project timelines, including large and multi-year schedules, and help keep projects on track with respect to scope, budget, and milestones.

+ Participate in construction administration activities, such as responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and coordinating with contractors as needed.

+ Collaborate closely with a small team in a hybrid office setting, contributing to a culture that values independence, initiative, and minimal micromanagement.

+ Provide guidance and support to junior staff, sharing knowledge of Revit, construction documentation, and complex project delivery.

Essential Skills

+ 6-8 years of professional architectural experience.

+ Strong background working on technically complex projects such as healthcare, hospitality, assisted living, laboratories, or correctional facilities.

+ Advanced proficiency in Revit, including 6-8 years of Revit-based construction document production in cloud-based models.

+ Proven ability to independently manage projects as a Project Architect or Job Captain with project management responsibilities.

+ Demonstrated experience coordinating consultants and managing complex project scopes.

+ Experience producing comprehensive construction drawings and construction documents.

+ Familiarity with construction administration processes and procedures.

+

Experience with schematic design and the ability to translate design concepts into buildable solutions.

+ Working knowledge of building codes, with familiarity in California and/or Washington building codes and permitting processes.

+ Comfort supporting client meetings and communicating clearly with clients and project stakeholders.

+ Self-starter mindset with the ability to run projects with minimal oversight.

+ Willingness to contribute to all phases of a project, not only design.

+ Actively pursuing architectural licensure is preferred, though licensure is not required.
