  • Comfortable leading and mentoring younger designers, ensuring zoning and code compliance
  • Experience managing freelance projects and generating new business leads
  • Previous hands-on construction experience and/or having designed/built your own home preferred
  • Passionate about architecture but also has hobbies and interests outside of work
  • Proficient in AutoCAD and Vectorworks (2D on Mac), with ability to manage production work
  • Able to oversee projects from zoning to construction, collaborating closely with internal engineering and construction teams

Salary: $120,000 - $170,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
