Position Overview

Are you an architectural expert driven by the technical "how" behind visionary design? We are seeking a high-impact Technical Architect to serve as the bridge between creative concept and structural reality.

Here, your work directly empowers students to learn and healthcare professionals to heal, backed by a firm that invests deeply in its people through competitive compensation and a flexible, people-centric workplace.

• Design Integration: Translate sophisticated design concepts into technically sound architectural solutions through all phases of the project lifecycle.

• Relationship Management: Cultivate and maintain high-level verbal, graphic, and written communication with clients, reinforcing the firm's reputation for reliability and expertise.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Synchronize with in-house teams across three regional offices to ensure seamless project execution and cross-pollination of technical standards.

• Quality Assurance: Conduct rigorous technical reviews of documents and materials, ensuring compliance with rigorous healthcare and education safety standards.

• Strategic Problem Solving: Navigate fast-paced project schedules by prioritizing tasks and identifying innovative solutions to complex site and material constraints.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture from an NAAB-accredited program.

• Licensure: Registered Architect (RA) required; Texas licensure preferred.

• Experience: 10+ years of relevant experience in architectural design and technical documentation.

• Technical Expertise: Deep, specialized knowledge of exterior envelope systems and general building materials.

• Software Proficiency: Advanced command of Revit, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Sector Expertise: Specialized experience in Healthcare (OSHPD/Texas Health standards) or large-scale K-12/Higher Education projects.

• Digital Tools: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, Newforma Project Center, and MS Office 365.
