Costa Mesa, California, United States The Vertex Companies, LLC Full time

Job Description

Are you a California-licensed architect with a passion and commitment for extending the useful life of our existing built environment? Do you have a background in forensics, investigating failed components, and identifying the root cause and potential solutions for various types of building assemblies? This is not a design job. This is not writing specifications or drawing up bathroom partition details. This is also not a testifying expert witness gig, either – no suit and tie required. This is hands-on, in-the-field, evaluating the condition of existing structures, to ultimately keep building occupants and others safe.

The Licensed Building Architect we are looking for currently holds an architectural license in the State of California, has extensive experience with multifamily and multi-use wood-framed and reinforced concrete structures, and is someone who understands waterproofing and fire-rated construction. A desire to do good work, collaborate with your team, delight your clients, and manage a wide variety of activities including; field inspections and written reports for residential and commercial property damage claims, forensic investigations involving construction or design defect claims, use of advanced inspection technologies, and peer review of drawings, details and specifications. Additionally, provide detailed investigative reports and findings to senior management and clients. Supervise and direct junior staff.

Execute responsibilities with technical proficiency, accuracy, and professionalism
Manage assignments in region, visit sites regularly
Grow and develop technical specialization and expertise that benefits the company, hones your skills and broadens our service offerings
Professional development, continuing education, and advancement of credentials. Cultivate independent initiatives as well as company–sponsored development goals
Participating in business development ventures and presentations, including regular contact with existing and prospective clients in the region, as needed
Reflect employee health and safety as a priority both in-house and on-site, in accordance with corporate policy

Position Requirements
Proficient with architectural design for commercial and residential building structures including wood, concrete and steel
Previous experience in the design of commercial and/or residential structures and experience with property damage claim investigations, defect investigations or other forensic architectural services
Third-party review of drawings at various stages of design, associated details and specifications
Proficient with waterproofing design principles, industry standards and typical manufacturer requirements

Able to communicate effectively (written and verbal) with co-workers, clients and subcontractors is essential
