Northwest Studio is seeking an experienced Project Architect to assist the studio in developing and executing conceptually and technically rigorous design solutions. Candidates will demonstrate strong design and technical skills, and enthusiasm about working collaboratively to actively shape our growing and diverse body of work.
We are a small and focused studio. As a Project Architect, your role in the practice may include more than one active project, and your ability to cross-pollinate relevant design and technical strategies across a range of project types will be essential to successful work.
Contribution to our growing body of work- and disciplinary focus, necessitates a desire to engage in a wide range of activities from strategic thinking to the execution of projects through Contract Administration. In this role, you will communicate with owner teams and project consultants while working directly with the studio’s partners to design, document, and oversee project execution.
You should hold a professional degree in Architecture and have a minimum of seven (7) to ten (10) years of experience. You should demonstrate an excellent ability to communicate graphically and through your writing. And at a minimum, you should be proficient in Revit, Rhino, and Adobe Suite; a working knowledge of AutoCAD is advantageous.
