Work with Us

Are you a Revit power user who loves both the technical precision of BIM and the creative challenge of sustainable design? Do you want to be THE go-to Revit expert on a collaborative team while working on meaningful residential and waterfront projects?

We’re looking for a skilled Revit Architectural Designer to join our mission-driven team. This isn’t just production work—you’ll be our Revit champion, helping us complete our transition from ArchiCAD to Revit while creating construction documents for sustainable residential and small commercial projects that make a real difference for the Chesapeake Bay region.

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.

Why This Role is Different

Meaningful projects. Our work focuses on sustainable residential design, Chesapeake Bay Critical Area compliance, and waterfront properties. You’ll work on projects that balance client needs with environmental stewardship—not cookie-cutter developments.

Revit Leadership:

• Be the go-to person for Revit questions and troubleshooting
• Help create and maintain Revit templates, families, and standards
• Contribute to developing office workflows and best practices

Design Support:

• Create renderings and presentation materials from design sketches
• Assist with design competition entries and marketing graphics
• Develop interior elevations and material selections

What We’re Looking For

Bonus Points:

• Residential or historic preservation experience
• ArchiCAD familiarity (helpful during our transition)
• Knowledge of Chesapeake Bay Critical Area regulations
• Green building certification or sustainable design experience
• Advanced rendering or graphic design skills
• Actively pursuing architectural licensure

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Generous PTO, 7 paid holidays, plus birthday holiday after 1 year
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (50% employer-paid)
• SIMPLE Roth IRA with 3% employer match
• Professional development support (AIA membership, licensure exams, continuing ed)
• Monthly phone stipend
• Beautiful downtown Annapolis location with parking
• Small collaborative team with direct access to leadership
