Foster Partners, the award winning integrated design practice have excellent opportunities for talented Designers, with excellent Revit skills, to join our office in San Francisco. We believe the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise and inform the character of a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; the way you move through or around it; and last but not least its ability to lift the spirits.

Qualities and skills required:

• Legally able to work in the country in which the position is based
• Evidence of a good design understanding e.g. a good design portfolio
• Ability to use a variety of media in the development and documentation of a design project
