Senior Architectural Designer

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, the same values have carried through each generation of leadership-and that continuity is something we actively protect.

What Design Means to Us

Design is one of the most human things we do. It requires curiosity, conviction, and a deep care for experience-not just function.

We are looking for people who are energized by ideas and take real pride in the work itself.

How We Work

We work collaboratively and with intent. Each person brings something distinct, and we embrace that.

We challenge each other, support each other's growth, and stay curious because we genuinely 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 a Senior Architectural Designer at Fishbeck, you will:

  • Lead design concept development
  • Guide projects from vision through realization
  • Mentor and elevate other designers
  • Influence outcomes and build strong client relationships
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead planning, programming, and design efforts on complex projects
  • Develop compelling design concepts aligned with client goals
  • Guide projects through all phases
  • Mentor architects and designers
  • Present design ideas clearly to clients and stakeholders
  • Lead design discussions across multidisciplinary teams
  • Oversee visualizations, renderings, and presentations
  • Collaborate with engineers and consultants
  • Support business development efforts
  • Build strong client relationships
  • Help evolve design culture and standards
What We Value
  • Passion for design excellence and continuous growth
  • Proven leadership and ability to elevate design quality
  • Strong conceptual thinking
  • Knowledge of building systems and coordination
  • Confidence in presenting ideas
  • Collaborative mindset
  • Experience mentoring and leading teams
  • Strong communication skills
  • Proficiency in Revit, SketchUp, Enscape, and Adobe Creative Suite
  • Professional degree in Architecture or related field
  • 10 years of experience and licensure preferred
Why This Matters

This firm has been shaped by every person who came before you. We are not looking for someone to simply fill a role-we are looking for someone who will leave a lasting impact.

We are committed to helping make that possible.
