HIGH-IMPACT JOB POST (READY TO USE)

🏗️ Senior Architectural Designer / Architect (6-Week Project – Immediate Need)

🚨 Immediate need – interviews happening now

We’re partnering with a design team that needs a hands-on architectural professional to step in immediately and support a critical project phase over the next 6 weeks.

This is a fast-moving opportunity for someone who can hit the ground running and contribute from day one.

⚡ Why This Role Stands Out

• Short-term, high-impact project (no long onboarding)
• Opportunity to work on a large-scale public/infrastructure project
• Work directly within an active, fast-paced project team
• Potential for extension or future project work based on performance

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

• Jump into an active project environment and contribute immediately
• Produce technical drawings and design solutions in Revit (cloud-based model)
• Support the team in pushing deliverables toward completion
• Work primarily on interior scope with some core & shell elements
• Take direction from Senior architects and integrate into existing workflows

👉 This role is production-focused — not conceptual design, not PM work

✅ What You Need to Succeed

• Strong Revit experience (required — day-one user)
• Background in construction documents / technical production
• Ability to work in code-driven / regulated project environments
• Experience with:
  • Public sector, healthcare, transit, or DSA-type projects (preferred)
• Understanding of constructability and building codes
• Comfortable jumping into fast-moving, partially built project sets

🚫 What This Role Is NOT

• Not a lead/PM/strategy role
• Not design-heavy / conceptual work
• Not a long ramp-up environment

👉 You must be able to contribute immediately without extensive onboarding

💼 Logistics

• Duration: 6 weeks
• Location: Hybrid (initial onsite ramp-up, then flexible schedule)
• Start: ASAP — immediate availability strongly preferred

💰 Compensation

• Competitive hourly rate based on experience ($65–$80 /hr range)
• Higher rates considered for highly experienced, plug-and-play candidates

⏳ Important Note

This is a time-sensitive project need —

👉 We are prioritizing candidates who are available immediately or between projects
