ARCHITECT JOB DESCRIPTION

An Architect owns the translation of a client's program into permitted, code-compliant built form. That sentence is simple; the work is not. From the first feasibility sketch through construction administration, the role carries legal and technical accountability for every drawing set released under a professional stamp - a responsibility that sits outside what a Project Manager or BIM Coordinator can assume. State licensure requirements and building code compliance regimes like IBC and AHJ review are nonnegotiable constraints that shape every decision this person makes. Across commercial office, institutional, industrial, and public-sector project types, the Architect is the technical authority the rest of the delivery team routes through.

As the Architect, you are accountable for producing and coordinating construction documents that satisfy client requirements, applicable building codes, and permit authority standards across projects of varying scale and type. You typically report to a Principal or Project Manager and work within a multi-discipline team alongside structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers, with your design decisions directly governing permit outcomes and construction execution.

Career Impact: Sustained work across commercial, institutional, and public-sector project types builds the multi-typology portfolio that state licensure boards and senior hiring panels use to distinguish candidates for Project Architect and Principal roles.

Business Impact: When construction documents contain unresolved code conflicts or coordination gaps, RFI volume climbs and schedules slip - the Architect's technical review authority is what keeps permit submissions clean and field changes to a minimum.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to LEED certification processes, NCARB record development, and multi-discipline coordination positions an Architect to move into Project Architect or Associate Principal roles with a credible track record across the full permit-to-closeout sequence.

• Design building projects from programming through construction documents, meeting client requirements and applicable zoning and code standards.
• Coordinate with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil discipline leads to produce an integrated set of permit-ready drawings.
• Conduct facility code analysis and life safety review for each project to identify compliance requirements before permit submission.
• Prepare construction documents including floor plans, sections, elevations, details, and schedules that convey complete design intent.
• Review RFIs and shop drawings during construction administration to confirm field execution aligns with permitted documents.
• Lead client meetings and design presentations, communicating scope, budget implications, and schedule milestones to project stakeholders.
• Perform site surveys and existing-conditions documentation to verify field conditions against design assumptions.
• Mentor junior staff and CAD technicians on drawing standards, document organization, and quality control procedures.

• Bachelor's degree in Architecture from an NAAB-accredited program, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of architectural design and production experience, with demonstrated involvement across multiple project phases.
• Active state Architect's license or documented progress toward licensure through an NCARB-recognized path.
• Proficiency in BIM-based design and documentation, with demonstrated ability to produce and coordinate construction document sets.
• Working knowledge of the International Building Code, AHJ permitting processes, and accessibility standards including ADA compliance.
• Ability to read and resolve multi-discipline coordination conflicts within a drawing set before permit submission.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for client-facing presentations and contractor correspondence.
• Demonstrated ability to manage concurrent project assignments and meet document submission deadlines.

• LEED Green Associate, LEED AP BD+C, or equivalent sustainability certification relevant to commercial or institutional construction.
• Experience with federal facility design, including familiarity with DoD design criteria, security clearance processes, or UFC standards.
• Background in a specialty project type such as healthcare, transit infrastructure, or industrial facilities requiring MAQ or life safety analysis.
• NCARB certification or active IDP record supporting reciprocal licensure across multiple U.S. jurisdictions.

• Drawing set issue rate, measured by the number of RFIs attributable to documentation gaps per project.
• Permit submission cycle time, tracking days from CD completion to AHJ approval across managed projects.
• Construction administration response time, measured by average days to close open RFIs and shop drawing reviews.
• Schedule adherence rate, reflecting the percentage of document milestones delivered on or before the agreed submission date.
• Code conflict resolution rate, tracking the share of IBC and life safety issues identified and resolved before permit submission.
• Typical tools: BIM authoring (commonly Revit); visualization (commonly SketchUp, Enscape); documentation (commonly AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite).

• Base Salary Range: $70,000 to $105,000 annually, varying by licensure status and market.
• Bonus: Project performance or annual discretionary bonus, typically 5 to 10%.
• Equity: Not standard at most firms; may apply at employee-owned or publicly traded AEC firms.
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution rates vary by firm size.
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus standard US federal holidays.
• Common Perks: Licensure exam reimbursement, AIA membership support, continuing education allowance, hybrid project-site flexibility.
