Our Tampa team is made up of creative problem-solvers, technical experts, and collaborative leaders who are passionate about delivering exceptional architecture that shapes communities and enhances experiences.

As a Senior Designer within Gensler’s Tampa office, you will collaborate with our design team to deliver unparalleled architectural projects. You will leverage your industry experience and technical acumen to perform design and technical execution of Core & Shell and Base Building projects from concept through build. You will bring together design excellence, technical rigor, and strategic thinking to deliver architecture that is both deeply functional and experientially rich.

You will be successful because you already know how to translate an architect's sketches and documents into realized 2D/3D models and images and can research artistic and/or technical issues when they arise.
