• Mentor and guide supporting staff while promoting strong technical standards.
• Use both digital tools and hands-on design thinking, including sketching, trace, and iterative problem solving.
• Support projects that may span multiple regions, with travel estimated at approximately 10%-15%.

About You as the Project Architect

• Professional degree in architecture from an accredited college or university.
• Strong technical knowledge and a clear understanding of how buildings are assembled.
