We're looking for a skilled and driven Job Captain to take ownership of project delivery on mid-size projects and complex project components.

  • Coordinate a multidisciplinary team of architects, designers, and consultants through design development and CD phases

  • Delegate work, provide mentorship to junior staff, and manage consultant relationships to keep deliverables on track

  • Develop programming and site planning documents while ensuring design intent is maintained throughout all phases

  • Assist in specification writing and conduct on-site construction observation across a variety of building types

  • Attend internal coordination meetings and regularly brief the Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager on project status, risks, and milestones

  • Represent the firm through active participation in external professional organizations and industry events

Requirements

  • 5 years of progressive experience in technical and design production

  • Strong command of construction documentation, field observation, building materials, and construction techniques

  • Familiarity with construction administration, governmental agencies, zoning codes, and engineering discipline coordination

  • Excellent communication, time management, and client-facing skills

  • Understanding of sustainable design practices and current industry standards

  • Proficiency in: Revit (2016 ), AutoCAD (2016 ), SketchUp or Rhino3D Studio Max, Maxwell Render, Twinmotion, or Enscape, and Microsoft Office

  • Professional degree in Architecture (graduate degree preferred); equivalent experience considered

  • LEED AP designation preferred; active membership in a professional organization is a plus
