  • Review design documents for accuracy, consistency, and adherence to project requirements.
  • Manage project plans, schedules, and budgets for design initiatives.

Team and Stakeholder Coordination 

  • Facilitate communication between design teams, stakeholders, consultants, and contractors.
  • Lead project meetings and ensure alignment across all stakeholders.
  • Support team collaboration and resolve design-related challenges.

Documentation and Reporting 

  • Maintain organized project documentation, including schedules, meeting notes, and approvals.
  • Prepare regular status reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Note: The job duties above provide a general sense of the role; though, additional duties may be assigned as necessary.

How you will shine:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture, Interior Design, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience (4+ years).
  • Minimum of 4 years of experience managing design or architectural projects.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams and external consultants.
  • Proficiency in design and project management software (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, MS Project, Bluebeam, Procore, Smartsheet).
  • AutoCAD certification or equivalent preferred.
  • PMP or equivalent project management certification preferred.
  • LEED accreditation or similar design-related certification is a plus.
