Remote Rfp Jobs in Denver, CO (NOW HIRING)

Department: Architectural Design

Lerch Bates is seeking a Multidiscipline Project Coordinator to support project delivery, business development, and operational activities across our Architectural Design practice.

As a Multidiscipline Project Coordinator, you will play a critical role in supporting consultants, project managers, and leadership through proposal development, contract coordination, project administration, and day-to-day operational support. This position serves as a key liaison between consultants, clients, business operations, and the Global Support Center to help ensure projects move efficiently from opportunity through execution.

This role combines project coordination, proposal support, contract administration, CRM management, and creative document production. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities while supporting a fast-paced consulting environment.

Become an Employee-Owner

One of the biggest advantages of working at Lerch Bates is that we are 100% employee-owned through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Unlike many companies that offer only a salary and retirement plan, eligible employees receive company-funded ESOP shares at no cost to them as part of their long-term retirement benefits.

As Lerch Bates grows, employee-owners share in the company's success. For many employees, the ESOP becomes one of the most valuable financial benefits of their career by helping build meaningful long-term wealth in addition to their salary and traditional 401(k).

When you join Lerch Bates, you are not just building better buildings. You also have the opportunity to build your financial future alongside the company's success.

About Lerch Bates:

Lerch Bates (LB) is a global technical consulting firm focused on improving how buildings perform for owners, designers, and the people who use them every day. For more than 75 years we’ve partnered on some of the world’s most complex and high-profile projects. Today we provide Total Building Performance expertise that integrates Building Science and Building Flow into a unified delivery model.

Our work spans design, construction, investigation, repair, rehabilitation, management, and modernization with one consistent goal: helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions in an increasingly complex built environment.

We are 100% employee-owned through our ESOP. That means when the company succeeds, our employee-owners share in that success. It's more than a retirement benefit—it's an ownership mindset backed by the opportunity to build long-term financial value while helping shape the future of the company.
