What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager position at Cline?
Great work starts with a good conversation and a team that’s excited to build something meaningful together.
Cline is an integrated, nationwide design firm bringing architecture, interior design, planning, landscape architecture, and branding under one roof. We partner with clients to shape places people truly experience—homes, neighborhoods, communities, and workplaces that feel intentional, human, and rooted in purpose.
We’re always looking for curious, collaborative teammates: people who communicate clearly, take pride in craft, and believe the best ideas get better when disciplines work side-by-side. If you’re drawn to thoughtful design, strong relationships, and a culture that supports growth (and celebrates wins along the way), we’d love to connect.
Explore our open roles and apply today—let’s build what’s next, together.
