About the Role

STV's Washington, DC Architecture practice is seeking an Architectural Designer II to support a growing portfolio of transportation, civic, federal, institutional, and other complex building projects. This role offers increasing ownership of architectural work packages within a collaborative, multidisciplinary project environment, with opportunities to deepen technical expertise and grow toward greater responsibility.

Responsibilities

Develop architectural construction documents, including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections, enlarged plans, wall sections, details, door and finish schedules, and other project-specific drawings.
Contribute to the organization, coordination, and completeness of architectural drawing sets, maintaining consistency among plans, sections, details, schedules, and specifications.
Develop architectural details addressing material interfaces, building assemblies, waterproofing, thermal continuity, fire-rated construction, installation requirements, and practical construction considerations.
Coordinate architectural elements with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and other building systems, recognizing spatial conflicts, clearance requirements, and constructability concerns.
Develop and maintain Revit models, views, sheets, schedules, families, and annotations in accordance with project BIM standards and documentation requirements.
Participate in interdisciplinary model and drawing reviews, identify discrepancies, and help resolve coordination issues before document issuance.
Support the application of building codes, accessibility standards, life-safety requirements, and applicable design criteria in architectural documentation.
Evaluate design alternatives, resolve detailing challenges, and develop practical solutions consistent with design intent.
Assist with responses to RFIs, review of submittals and shop drawings, and documentation of construction-phase clarifications.
Communicate progress, coordination needs, and unresolved issues clearly while taking ownership of assigned drawing packages and deliverables.

Requirements

Professional degree in Architecture from an accredited program.
5–8 years of professional architectural experience, with substantial involvement in design development and construction documentation.
Demonstrated experience assembling and coordinating architectural drawing sets, with an understanding of drawing hierarchy, cross-referencing, annotation, scheduling, and the relationship between drawings and specifications.
Solid knowledge of architectural detailing, building materials, construction assemblies, and fundamental constructability principles.
Working understanding of structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems and their interfaces with architectural design.
Familiarity with applicable building codes, accessibility requirements, life-safety principles, and conventional construction practices.
Strong working proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including the ability to independently develop and maintain models, create and manage views/sheets/schedules, model architectural elements, create and modify families, work with linked models, use schedules/tags/parameters, identify and resolve modeling/documentation issues, and produce coordinated drawing sheets.
Ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings and identify inconsistencies across disciplines.
Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
Ability to manage assigned work independently, recognize unresolved issues, and seek direction when necessary.
Experience with transportation, civic, federal, institutional, or other technically complex building projects.
Exposure to construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and field observations.
Familiarity with multidisciplinary BIM coordination workflows and model review tools such as Navisworks or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Experience developing customized Revit families, schedules, and project templates.
