- A collaborative and professional approach to the work.
- Strong proficiency in Revit for three dimensional modeling, visualization, and documentation, including a meaningful understanding of parameters, family development and work-sharing.

- Demonstrated ability to coordinate and direct the work efforts of project teams a plus.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, Revit and AutoCAD required.
At Origin, our project teams are intentionally structured to create exposure across multiple phases, helping team members build broader experience beyond a single role or stage of work. Team members work closely with firm leadership, contribute meaningfully to the development of design concepts, and help advance those ideas into thoughtful, buildable solutions.
Our work spans workplace, hospitality, food and beverage, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse projects. While much of our work is concentrated along the East Coast, we regularly collaborate with clients nationwide.
Please share a portfolio demonstrating strong design thinking, conceptual development, visualization, presentation, and construction documentation. Examples of digital workflows, custom tools, or process development are also welcome.
