Senior Project Designer

SRG is growing! We are seeking Senior Project Designers with 15+ years of experience to join our dynamic team.

SRG was founded nearly 50 years ago on a simple idea: partnership as both our name and an attitude that shapes everything we do. Partnerships define how we engage our clients, how we work with each other and how we build our teams. Our NW roots contribute to this outlook through a deep appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us and a pioneering spirit that drives us forward. This attitude is expressed in our work: design that is inventive, deeply sustainable and based on the best ideas to achieve our clients’ highest aspirations.

The work we do should invigorate our commitment to each other and the environment that sustains us. SRG is a Just organization and is committed to connecting our values for equity and sustainability to our design practice.
