- Mentor junior staff on lab-specific detailing.
Requirements
- 10-15+ years in project architecture or technical coordination, with preferred experience in lab or high-compliance building types.

- Working knowledge of building, energy, and zoning codes, plus lab-specific regulatory requirements.
- Demonstrated ability to lead Quality Control and Quality Assurance efforts across all phases.
- Proven track record of leading design reviews, charettes, and pin-ups.
- Advanced Revit and conceptual/computational modeling skills.
- Comfort with Enscape, VRay, and physical modeling tools.
