Project Architect II - Education

Make an Impact:

Hold the design intent through every phase of documentation. Carry the Performance Based Design goals from concept into the issued set, with no unresolved deviations reaching the client.
Lead the technical design and documentation on assigned major projects. Act as the technical architect on active projects, producing the architectural models, contract documents, and specifications in Revit and AutoCAD, with applicable codes, sustainability requirements, and material standards built in from the start.
Stamp and seal construction documents as a licensed architect. You own the technical accuracy and code compliance of your sets, and you make the initial call on complex or first-of-their-kind design problems.
Own coordination of the specifications with the drawings. Lead spec-to-drawing coordination and the handoffs with internal teams, consultants, and engineers, so conflicts get caught in the office rather than at bid or in the field.
Carry plan review and code questions to resolution. Handle due diligence, existing conditions documentation, and plan review submissions, and settle code questions directly with the authority having jurisdiction.
Lead reviews of submittals, drawings, estimates, and calculations. Evaluate them against project scope and firm standards, and self-check your own work, so deliverables meet QA/QC requirements before they go out.
Solve construction problems in the field. On site visits, work through unforeseen conditions, code compliance issues, and document discrepancies, and close open items out rather than letting them sit.
Keep project information, fees, and schedules moving. Organize how project files get published, issued, and transferred, give informed input on fees and schedules, and raise scope changes when they show up rather than after they hit the budget.
Bring the junior architects along. Mentor less experienced staff through day-to-day coaching and Lessons Learned sessions, and weigh in on process improvements and standard development.
