The Opportunity:

You will drive architectural strategy and client design solutions for an established, 100% employee-owned leader in commercial construction.

  • Collaborate closely with field superintendents to ensure buildability and maintain design intent on-site.
  • Direct external design partners, engineering consultants, and internal staff to hit key project deadlines.
  • Review drawings and specifications to proactively resolve any plan conflicts prior to construction.


Required Qualifications & Experience:

  • Extensive professional experience managing architectural design specifically within commercial construction.
  • Direct hands-on expertise with pre-engineered metal building systems and custom structural steel applications, as well as conventional construction.
  • Proven track record in a client-facing role presenting complex design solutions directly to project owners.
  • Comprehensive understanding of commercial building code, zoning laws, and structural requirements.
  • Advanced proficiency in architectural design software, BIM, and technical construction documentation.


Preferred Qualifications & Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture or a related structural design field.
  • Professional Registered Architect (RA) license or NCARB certification.
  • Demonstrated background working directly within a design-build general contracting firm.


Compensation & Benefits:

  • Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) and profit-sharing options for long-term wealth growth.
  • 401(k) retirement savings program with generous employer matching.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance options.
  • Health Savings Account (HSA) and company-provided safety equipment.
  • Paid time off for holidays, vacation, and sick leave plus flexible paid parental leave.
  • Tech package including a smartphone or tablet for seamless communication.
  • Paid training programs, professional development, and technical certifications.
