Position Overview

Are you ready to move beyond standard design and lead the creation of environments that shape the future of learning? We are seeking a Project Manager to steer the design and delivery of high-impact K-12 educational projects. In this role, you aren't just managing a budget; you are the primary architect of the client experience, transforming pedagogical visions into functional, inspiring physical spaces.

• Multidisciplinary Orchestration: Lead and integrate cross-functional teams of designers, engineers, and consultants to ensure technical precision and design excellence.

• Financial & Operational Stewardship: Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, and fee structures while drafting high-level proposals and contracts.

• Technical Compliance: Ensure all designs exceed building codes, educational standards, and sustainability benchmarks (LEED/CHPS), maintaining the highest level of QA/QC throughout the project lifecycle.

• Mentorship & Culture: Cultivate the next generation of talent by providing guidance to junior staff, fostering an environment of continuous learning and architectural innovation.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Professional Degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch) from an accredited institution.

• Experience: 8+ years of professional experience in architecture, with a demonstrated focus on educational or K-12 projects.

• Software Proficiency: Advanced command of Revit and modern project management software.
