Experienced Project Architect - Architectural Designer - Design Build- Residential Renovation

Project Architect – Residential Renovation (Design-Build)

Build What Matters — Transform Homes, Transform Lives

We’re not looking for decorators. We’re looking for architects who can take a vision and make it buildable.

At Schroeder Design Build, we specialize in high-end residential renovations where design meets reality. Our clients trust us with their homes—their most personal spaces—and we deliver by combining creative problem-solving, technical expertise, and hands-on construction knowledge.

If you’re passionate about reimagining spaces, solving structural challenges, and guiding homeowners from concept through construction, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

As a Project Architect, you will lead residential renovation projects from early concept through construction, acting as both a technical expert and a trusted client advisor.

• Translate client vision into buildable solutions — balancing design intent, structural feasibility, and budget
• Lead development of full construction document sets (not just design concepts)
• Evaluate and resolve structural and constructability challenges in renovation projects
• Collaborate with internal teams, engineers, and field staff to ensure seamless project execution
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, guiding them through decisions with clarity and confidence
• Review site conditions and adapt designs to existing structures and real-world constraints
• Support permitting, approvals, and construction administration
• Manage multiple projects at various phases without compromising quality

What Sets This Role Apart

• You’ll work on real homes, real families, real transformations — not just theoretical design
• You’ll be involved in how things are actually built, not just how they look
• You’ll help clients navigate one of the biggest investments of their lives
• You’ll collaborate in a design-build environment, where execution matters as much as creativity

What You Bring

We’re specifically seeking candidates with strong architectural and construction expertise — not interior-focused backgrounds.

• Bachelor’s degree (required) Architecture(preferred)
• 5 years of experience in residential architecture, renovations, or construction-focused design
• Proven experience producing construction documents and detailing for built projects
• Strong understanding of:

Structural systems

Building materials and methods

Single Family Home Residential Renovation experience required

Renovation constraints (existing conditions, code, integration challenges)

Proficiency in Revit

Experience coordinating with engineers and contractors

Ability to read, interpret, and produce technical drawings with precision

Who You Are

• A problem-solver who enjoys figuring out how things come together
• Comfortable balancing client expectations, budgets, and structural realities
• A strong communicator who can guide homeowners with confidence and empathy
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Passionate about turning ideas into real, livable spaces

Bonus Points

• Actively pursuing licensure
• Experience in design-build firms or residential renovation environments
• Construction administration or field experience

Why Join Us

• Competitive compensation benefits
• Opportunity to work on high-impact residential transformations
• Collaborative, growth-focused team environment
• Exposure to both design and construction execution
• A role where your work is built, lived in, and appreciated every day
