ARCHITECT / EMERGING ARCHITECT

ARCHITECT / EMERGING ARCHITECT

Design Work That Matters. Technical Mastery. Real Project Responsibility.

This position is intended for recent graduates and emerging professionals who are serious about developing strong technical competence, sound design judgment, and a clear understanding of how buildings are conceived, documented, coordinated, and constructed.

The role offers hands-on involvement in higher education, civic and municipal, government, and affordable housing projects, including renovation, historic preservation, and new construction. Many projects involve architecturally significant modernist buildings and historically registered landmarks.

This is a growth-oriented position designed to provide meaningful exposure across the full spectrum of architectural practice—from early planning and feasibility through construction administration and project closeout.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Architect / Intern Architects work closely with senior staff while progressively taking on greater responsibility. Recent graduates receive structured mentorship and technical guidance, while emerging professionals are expected to demonstrate increasing independence and initiative. This is not a narrowly defined production role, but an opportunity to engage in real project decision-making and coordination.

Advanced proficiency in Revit and Navisworks is required. Digital workflows are central to how projects are designed, coordinated, and delivered.
