Job DescriptionJob Description

My client is an Architectural and Engineering firm that is actively seeking an Architect with some expertise in property restoration and historical preservation.

Project Manager role focused on Property Revitalization. This aspect of their practice concentrates on the assessment, renovation, repair, and enhancement of existing buildings and sites to prolong their use and viability. Property Revitalization is a powerful tool used to strengthen local economies and stabilize property values. It’s sustainability to the highest “green” degree when compared to demolition and new construction.

• Plan, schedule and track project timelines and milestones to ensure project is on schedule.
• Conduct project research as applicable for the appropriate scope of work (historical, regulatory, building code etc.).
• Conduct on-site inspections and building condition assessments, coordinate and assist with energy audits, including PCNA and RAD work.
• Perform accessibility analysis of existing properties. Possess the knowledge of ADA requirements.
• Prepare written reports that accurately describe findings and recommendations.
• Coordinate and respond to requests for changes in project scope.
• An ability to navigate stairs, sites, and building interiors.
• Willingness to travel to project and client locations when necessary (a valid driver’s license is required).

Education and Experience:

• Candidate shall possess at least 10 years of relevant experience, preferably in an architectural firm, and minimum of 5 years of experience conducting building assessments and writing technical reports.
• Candidate for this position should have a background in architecture, engineering, building forensics, interior design, or construction management.
• Bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, or similar courses of study preferred. Candidates that do not possess a degree but have solid building and construction knowledge gained through work experience will also be considered. (Please provide a portfolio of recent projects.)
• Licensure as either a Registered Architect or Professional Engineer is preferred.

Preferred Skills:

• Candidates must possess strong skills in Team organization and collaboration, design, technical documentation, detailing, code review and interpretation, and consultant coordination.
• Ability to work productively and independently on multiple projects, adhering to client deadlines with guidance from senior firm leaders.
• Analytical thinker with the ability to evaluate existing building conditions, building systems, and information to formulate scope of work.
• The ability to read and understand as-built design drawings as well as to perform field inspections is critical. This includes building envelope details and material functions regarding moisture infiltration.
• Ability to prepare property condition assessments, including technical writing proficiency, understanding of cost estimating for general budget purposes, accessibility, and understanding of various funding agency guidelines, requirements, tools, and processes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ongoing communications with multiple clients are an important part of this position.
• Good technical computer skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and BIM software (training provided for the ArchiCAD system that we use).
