PROJECT MANAGER / ARCHITECT
PYATOK architecture + urban design is seeking a full-time Project Manager with experience in multi-family housing design. This is a remote position for a Greater Seattle Area resident.
PYATOK is an award-winning, nationally recognized leader in the design of multi-family affordable, senior, market-rate, student, and special needs housing, as well as mixed-use development, master planning, and community facilities. We succeed because our team has a shared passion for delivering high-quality design to the communities we serve.
Our collaborative style of management and culture includes a pedagogical commitment to mentorship, including weekly in-house professional development sessions and annual stipends for continuing education. Our design philosophy and team structures reflect our goal of nurturing “complete” architects. Without the constraints inherent with a studio or department structure, our team members develop their own portfolios of diverse skills and assume ownership of their projects. In addition, this approach dovetails with our expectation that team members actively participate in various aspects of our firm’s operations and management.
Our primary office is conveniently located near the 19th Street BART station in an increasingly dynamic part of Oakland. We offer competitive salaries and benefits (medical, dental and vision; holidays; PTO and paid volunteer time; and 401(k) with company matching) in addition to a collaborative, healthy, and vibrant work environment.
