What is a Part Time Architect job?

A Part Time Architect is a professional who works on architectural projects with reduced hours or on a contract basis. Their responsibilities remain similar to a full-time architect, including designing buildings, creating plans, and ensuring compliance with regulations. This role is ideal for those seeking flexibility, such as freelancers, retirees, or individuals balancing multiple commitments. Part-time architects may work independently, for firms, or on specific project-based assignments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Part Time Architect position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Architect, you need a degree in architecture, proficiency in design principles, and experience with building codes and regulations. Familiarity with technical tools like AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and a state architecture license (where required) is crucial for performing core duties. Strong project management, time management, and collaborative communication skills help you efficiently coordinate with clients and project teams. These competencies enable you to deliver high-quality designs on a flexible schedule while maintaining professional standards.

How do part time architects typically balance multiple projects and clients with a reduced work schedule?

Part time architects often use effective project management strategies to prioritize tasks and set clear expectations with clients regarding timelines and deliverables. They frequently collaborate closely with team members, leveraging shared digital tools and regular check-ins to ensure smooth workflow and minimal delays. This role often emphasizes self-motivation and excellent organizational skills, as part time architects may need to juggle design work, client meetings, and documentation within condensed hours. Employers value candidates who can manage their workload efficiently while maintaining high standards in their architectural output.

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including CONOPS, SOPs, engineering change packages, risk assessments, and architectural artifacts, to support system operations and lifecycle management.
  • Support the operation and sustainment of MLS production, test, and development environments, ensuring stability, compliance, and security.
  • Evaluate technical proposals, architectural designs, and system alternatives for feasibility, technical soundness, and cybersecurity risk.
  • Provide objective technical analysis and advisory support to Government teams by clarifying design issues, resolving technical conflicts, and assessing contractor submissions.
  • Collaborate with system administrators, network engineers, cybersecurity personnel, and other stakeholders to improve system reliability, functionality, and security.
  • Deliver technical briefings and targeted training on advanced MLS concepts to support knowledge transfer and workforce readiness.

What's in it for you:
  • Active Top Secret (TS) security clearance
  • Master's degree in a related technical field, or Bachelor's degree with an additional 4+ years of relevant experience
  • DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level III-compliant certification, or the ability to obtain an 8140-compliant certification within 90 days of start date
  • Solaris operating system credentials or demonstrated expert-level experience administering Solaris and Trusted Solaris environments
  • 10+ years' experience designing, developing, and administering multi-level security (MLS) systems
  • 10+ years' experience working with multi-level operating systems, including one or more of the following:
    • Trusted Solaris
    • Solaris with Trusted Extensions
    • SELinux with MLS and/or Pitbull
  • Strong experience with hardware platforms and enterprise storage systems supporting secure, high-availability environments
  • 5+ years' experience administering Oracle databases and Solaris-based platforms
  • 5+ years' experience administering Linux systems in secure or enterprise environments
  • Demonstrated experience integrating multi-level systems, including Solaris Trusted Extensions, Linux, Windows, networking components, databases, and development tools to support:
    • Future system expansion
    • Interconnection of PL-3 customer networks
    • Transition to a PL-3 data warehouse
  • Experience designing enterprise-level architectures in DoD and/or SAP environments
  • Knowledge of network security tools, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems
  • Candidates must reside within approximately two (2) hours driving distance of China Lake, CA to support recurring on-site program requirements.
  • This position is part-time and compensated hourly, (typically 20-32 hours per week), with a targeted rate range of $110.00 to $125.00 per hour.
