Job description
- We are seeking a personable, motivated, and highly organized Project Manager to join our team. In this role, you are the heartbeat of the project, serving as the primary liaison for clients and taking full responsibility for quality, coordination, and team management. You are managing a schedule, mentoring the next generation of designers, and ensuring that our award-winning design translates perfectly into the built environment.

- Project Leadership: Lead multiple projects through all phases, from initial concept to construction completion.
- Client & Consultant Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors, and consultants, ensuring fully integrated and coordinated project documentation.
- Technical Oversight: Oversee Revit-based (commercial) or AutoCAD-based (residential) design development. You will review architectural details for technical accuracy and constructability.

Requirements
- Solution-Oriented Leadership: You don't just identify problems; you navigate complex teams toward a resolution with a calm, professional demeanor.
- Ego-Free Mentorship: You take pride in "elevating the room," sharing your technical knowledge generously with junior staff rather than gatekeeping.
- High-Stakes Relationship Management: You build deep trust with repeat clients and contractors through transparency and follow-through.
- Stability & Vision: You are looking to anchor your career in a firm where you can influence the long-term standards and culture of the studio.
- Experience: 8–12 years of professional architecture experience.
