This full-time, in-office position is ideal for design professionals ready to take on greater responsibility within a collaborative, design-driven environment that balances innovation with the architectural heritage and distinctive coastal character of South Florida.

The Palm Beach studio engages in a diverse portfolio of high-end residential, waterfront, and hospitality projects throughout South Florida and beyond. Project Designers/Architects at this office are actively involved in all project phases—from conceptual design through construction administration—and benefit from mentorship, cross-office collaboration, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to projects that reflect the refinement and elegance of Palm Beach living while meeting national design standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to the development of architectural designs across multiple project phases.
• Produce, oversee, and coordinate detailed construction documents, presentation drawings, and design deliverables.
• Collaborate directly with clients, consultants, contractors, and project teams to achieve design excellence and project goals.
• Guide and mentor junior staff, providing feedback and support throughout the design and documentation process.
• Participate in and often lead client meetings, internal design reviews, and project coordination sessions.
• Support business development efforts through the preparation of proposals, presentations, and conceptual design work as needed.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across Northworks’ national offices to foster a unified design approach.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in architecture or design.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture from an accredited institution.
• Architectural licensure or active pursuit of licensure strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in Revit is required; strong experience with Enscape, Lumion, SketchUp, Blue Beam, and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) is highly valued.
• Demonstrated ability to manage design and documentation efforts across multiple project phases.
• Strong communication, leadership, and client-relations skills with the ability to clearly convey design intent both visually and verbally.
• Comprehensive knowledge of architectural detailing, construction methods, and documentation standards.
• Familiarity with Florida building codes, coastal construction standards, and local permitting processes is strongly preferred.
• Ability to balance independent work with effective collaboration in a fast-paced studio environment.
• Commitment to professional growth through mentorship, project leadership, and cross-office engagement.
• Must be able to work full-time on-site at our Palm Beach office.
  
  

Northworks offers a highly collaborative, professional environment where design excellence, mentorship, and career growth are central to our mission.
