3. Excellence/proficiency in hand drawing
4. Strong conceptual design and schematic design skills
5. Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills
6. Proficiency in BIM software

Responsibilities:

1. Take initiative to lead and work with project teams and the firm’s leaders to develop initial design concepts and transform them into building solutions, ensuring the design intent is maintained throughout the design evolution
2. Effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously
3. Collaboratively lead interdisciplinary teams of clients, design partners, and consultants to achieve a shared design vision
4. Research architectural precedents to inform project design possibilities
5. Develop graphics and visualizations for design presentations
6. Business development and client-facing role

Things we value, but are not required to apply:

2. Knowledge of energy efficiency building techniques as they pertain to high performance buildings
3. Strong understanding of building science, building systems, and resilient design

CA wants to know about you:

1. Who is your biggest design influence?
2. Why did you pursue a career in architecture?
3. If you could go to any home in the world, where would you go?

This is a full time, in-office role with the opportunity to be hybrid.
