About the Role

We are looking for a Designer II who brings real creative energy to project teams, not just producing what's handed to them.

Responsibilities

• Generate drawings under supervision across schematic design, design development, and construction documents.
• Think through design problems.
• Take increasing ownership of tasks within project teams and studio activities.
• Self-check own work for accuracy, omissions, legibility, and compliance with the Project Delivery Manual.
• Show up prepared to design reviews, charettes, and pin-ups with actual opinions.
• Coordinate effectively with partners and consultants.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in architecture or related discipline.
• Preparing for the ARE with active involvement in AXP.
• Familiarity with building codes, life safety requirements, and construction documents.
• Submit a resume and a compact, representative portfolio (no larger than 4MB).
• Showcase leadership in portfolio, not just involvement.
