Fishbeck | Multiple Locations | Full-time

Who We Are

Fishbeck has been employee-owned since its founding in 1956-not as a structure, but as a belief. We are architects, engineers, scientists, and constructors. More than that, we are people who believe nothing great is made alone.

For nearly 70 years, across every generation of leadership, the same values have held. That continuity is not an accident-it is something we protect.

What Design Means to Us

Design is one of the most human things we do. It takes curiosity, conviction, and the willingness to care deeply about how something is experienced, not just how it functions.

We are looking for people who get genuinely excited about ideas and find real meaning in the work itself.

How We Work

We work the way we think: collaboratively and with intent. Every person here brings something distinct, and we lean into that.

We surround ourselves with people who challenge and complement us-who take ownership not just of their work but of each other's growth. We believe complacency is not an option, and we stay curious because we enjoy what we do.

The Role

You are not here to execute tasks. You are here to transform ideas into places, experiences, and outcomes.

As an Architectural Designer at Fishbeck, you will:

  • Contribute to projects across all phases of design
  • Collaborate across a truly multidisciplinary environment
  • Be trusted with meaningful responsibilities and supported in your growth
Key Responsibilities
  • Help shape projects from early visioning through construction
  • Create diagrams, renderings, presentations, and 3D visualizations
  • Collaborate with architects, engineers, and specialists
  • Contribute to BIM models, drawings, and documentation
  • Solve design and technical challenges creatively
  • Participate in meetings, workshops, and site visits
  • Explore materials, systems, and construction methods
  • Take ownership of project tasks and contribute ideas
  • Engage with teams, consultants, and clients
  • Continuously develop design, technical, and leadership skills
What We Value
  • Passion for design excellence and continuous learning
  • Accountability for your work and growth
  • Drive to develop skills and knowledge
  • Strong collaboration mindset
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, flexible
  • Ability to perform under deadlines
  • Excitement for employee ownership
  • Experience with Revit, SketchUp, Enscape (or similar)
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Professional degree in Architecture or related field
  • 5 years of experience and licensure preferred
Why This Matters

The firm you are joining has been built and passed forward by every person who came before you. We are not looking for someone to fill a seat-we are looking for someone who will leave this place better than they found it.

We will do everything we can to make that possible.
