ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATE JOB DESCRIPTION

An Architectural Associate is a production-level practitioner, not yet licensed but accountable for real deliverables. Most enter with a NAAB-accredited degree and an active AXP log, working toward ARE completion while carrying genuine project load. The role owns a defined segment of the construction document set - coordinating drawing packages across engineering disciplines, responding to contractor RFIs during construction administration, and keeping permit submissions aligned with local building codes. Seniority varies from early-career to mid-level, but the defining constant is this: drawings must be technically correct, code-compliant, and on time.

As the Architectural Associate, you translate design intent into technically accurate construction documents and coordinate with engineers, contractors, and consultants to keep projects moving from schematic design through construction administration. You work under the direction of a Project Architect or Project Manager, contributing to permit submissions, shop drawing reviews, and documentation sets across a portfolio that may span residential, commercial, or institutional building types.

Career Impact: Logging documented AXP hours in a production role accelerates progress toward ARE licensure and positions candidates for promotion to Project Architect within a credentialed career path.

Business Impact: Permit-ready drawing packages and timely RFI responses directly determine whether construction milestones are met and whether clients avoid costly change-order disputes.

• Working knowledge of the CSI MasterFormat system and ability to navigate project manual specifications.
• Demonstrated ability to manage time across concurrent projects at different design phases without supervision.

• Drawing package completeness rate, measured by the number of coordinator-identified gaps per submission.
• RFI response turnaround time, reflecting how quickly field questions are resolved to avoid construction delays.
• Permit submission acceptance rate on first review by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
• AXP hours logged per quarter, reflecting active progression toward licensure benchmarks.
• Change order volume attributable to documentation errors, measuring construction document accuracy over time.
