What is an unlicensed architect?

An Unlicensed Architect is a design professional who performs architectural tasks but has not obtained a formal license. They may assist in drafting, modeling, project planning, and coordination under the supervision of a licensed architect. While they cannot sign or seal official documents, they often contribute significantly to design and construction processes. Their role varies depending on state regulations and employer requirements.

What types of projects and tasks can an unlicensed architect typically work on?

Unlicensed Architects often support design teams in creating preliminary architectural drawings, 3D visualizations, and construction documents under the supervision of licensed architects. They may assist in researching building codes, conducting site analysis, and coordinating with engineers or contractors to ensure project requirements are met. While they cannot independently sign off on official plans, they play a crucial role in the creative and technical aspects of project development. This position offers valuable hands-on experience and exposure to the architectural process, often leading to advancement opportunities as experience is gained or licensure is pursued.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an unlicensed architect?

To thrive as an Unlicensed Architect, you need strong drafting skills, a solid understanding of architectural concepts, and typically a degree in architecture or a related field. Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp is commonly required for producing drawings and presentations, though licensure is not held. Excellent communication, organization, and teamwork skills help manage client expectations and coordinate with other professionals. These competencies enable Unlicensed Architects to effectively contribute to design projects while working under the supervision of licensed architects.

What can an unlicensed architect do?

An unlicensed architect can perform tasks such as preparing drawings, designing projects, and collaborating on architectural plans under the supervision of a licensed architect. However, they cannot sign or seal official building permits or represent projects as licensed professionals. Licensing is required for legal authorization to approve and sign off on construction documents and projects.

We live by the mantra 'work hard and play hard’ and strive to ensure that ‘fun’ is always a part of the firm’s culture.
Current projects include numerous new contemporary single-family homes, extensive condominium renovations and boutique restaurant and office buildouts. We currently have projects in design or construction in three states, providing diverse opportunities to design within various geographies, terrains, and construction typologies in both the southern and northern United States.

· Manage multiple projects from conceptual design through completion.
· Development of design concepts into high quality Construction & Permit Drawings.
· Act as the primary client, consultant, and contractor liaison throughout the duration of the design and construction process.

Knowledge of state and local building and zoning codes. Experience with coastal construction and permitting is a plus.
 
REQUIREMENTS
5+ years of professional working experience in an architecture firm is required.
B. ARCH or M. ARCH Degree in Architecture
Licensure is preferred but not required. Unlicensed applicants should be actively pursuing licensure.
 
DETAILS AND BENEFITS
This Job is full-time. The salary is between 80k-125k, and is commensurate with experience. Benefits include health insurance stipend, PTO, and discretionary performance bonuses.
