Work with Us

We’re looking for an Architectural Staff I/ Revit-savvy production designer who is exceptional at building clean, efficient models and construction documents and who’s excited to be the internal go-to person as our team transitions from ArchiCAD to Revit to join our mission-driven team. This is a full-time position for someone early in career, who is confident working independently but also thrives in a collaborative environment. You’ll play a key role in designing and documenting sustainable residential and commercial projects of moderate size and complexity. We’re a growing firm, which means you’ll be exposed to every phase of the architectural process, with real potential to grow in responsibility, leadership, and licensure support.

Growth & Flexibility Highlights:

• Licensure Support: AXP hours, mentorship, and financial support for exams
• Professional Development: Partially paid AIA membership and annual CE reimbursements
• Flexible Work Schedule: Flexible in-office hours, Summer Fridays Off (Memorial Day to Labor Day), and Alternate Fridays Off (Labor Day to Memorial Day) to support work-life balance.
• Career Path: Opportunity to grow into more senior design roles over time, with support for licensure if that’s part of your professional goals

What You’ll Do

This is a technical production role for someone who is highly fluent in Revit, detail-focused, and comfortable fielding Revit questions from teammates learning the software. While we will be participating in formal training during the transition, you will be the person people come to for day-to-day support, troubleshooting, and workflow guidance. You don’t need to be a licensed architect or on the licensure track. Skill, accuracy, and strong Revit fluency matter far more.

You’ll work directly with our Principal Architect and Design team to:

• Produce design and construction documents in ArchiCAD and / or Revit for renovation and small construction projects
• Assist with maintaining officewide Revit standards, templates, and families
• Serve as the internal “Revit point person” during our software transition
• Troubleshoot questions and help colleagues’ problem-solve as they adapt to Revit
• Collaborate with project architects to deliver clean, buildable construction documents
• Support the development of best-practice documentation for project setup and workflows
• Participate in our small, highly collaborative studio culture

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Professional degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) in Architecture
• 3–5 years of architectural experience, preferably in a U.S.-based firm
• Proficient in construction documentation and detailing
• Strong, hands-on Revit proficiency (must have) with willingness to work in ArchiCAD until full transition.
• Confidence navigating modeling, drafting, sheets, families, and troubleshooting
• Patience, clarity, and a collaborative mindset — people will ask you questions!
• Good time management and consistency in production
• Familiarity with sustainable design practices and materials\
• Basic understanding of current residential and commercial building codes
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
• Passion for high-performance design and a values-aligned team culture

Bonus Points For:

• Progress toward licensure (AXP, exams, mentorship welcome)
• Experience with historic preservation or small commercial work
• Graphic design or rendering skills
• Previous work with high-performance building systems and green building certifications
• ArchiCAD familiarity

Personal Qualities:

We’re a small, collaborative team, so we’re looking for someone who brings not only skill but the right mindset. The ideal candidate will have:

• Integrity in all interactions and design decisions
• A results-driven approach with a focus on quality outcomes for clients
• High standards for accuracy, craft, and professional excellence
• A team-player mentality with a collaborative spirit
• A systems-minded approach to improving workflow and studio processes
• Eagerness to learn, grow, and adapt within a dynamic small firm
• Flexibility and willingness to pitch in wherever needed
• A positive attitude and good sense of humor
• A professional demeanor in client and team interactions
• Self-awareness and transparency in communication with the Team

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
