Position Summary

We are a small and fast-growing architecture office in Flushing seeking a reliable, ambitious, and fast-learning Architectural Designer / Job Captain with strong NYC DOB filing experience. This role is perfect for someone who wants hands-on experience, responsibility, and long-term growth — including commission-based bonuses and a future partner-track opportunity for exceptional candidates.

Licensure is not required, but technical ability and initiative are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare accurate and well-coordinated drawing sets using AutoCAD (required).
• Handle DOB filings, including preparation of PW1, TR1, TR8, ZD1, and related forms.
• Respond to and resolve DOB objections, revise drawings, and coordinate with plan examiners.
• Research and apply NYC Building Code and Zoning Resolution requirements.
• Assist in drafting zoning analyses, feasibility studies, and permit drawings.
• Coordinate with engineers, expeditors, consultants, and contractors.
• Assist with construction documents and occasional construction administration tasks.
• Communicate professionally with clients, DOB staff, and internal team members.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines with minimal supervision.
  
  

Minimum Requirements

• 2–10 years of architectural experience (NYC experience strongly preferred).
• Strong AutoCAD proficiency — must work efficiently and cleanly.
• Experience filing with NYC DOB is a big plus
• Experience responding to DOB objections and resolving them successfully.
• Understanding of NYC zoning, code, and permitting processes.
• Ability to think independently, learn quickly, and solve problems proactively.
  
  

Preferred (Not Required)

• Knowledge of filing for ALT1, ALT2, ALT3, NB, and legalization projects.
• Familiarity with BIS, DOB NOW, and HUB full-service filings.
• Experience with residential, mixed-use, or small commercial projects.
• Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) a plus but not mandatory.
• Construction administration experience.
  
  

Compensation & Growth

We offer a growth-driven structure for long-term success:

• Competitive base salary
• Bonus and overtime opportunities
• Commission-based incentives (for bringing in or managing projects)
• Clear partner-track pathway for high-performing team members
• Direct mentorship from principal architect
• Opportunity to take real ownership of projects and clients
  
  

This role is ideal for someone who wants more responsibility and a future leadership role — not just a drafting job.
