  • Work with Program/Project Management Teams: Assist with budget reviews, especially regarding design elements and owner expectations.
  • Participate in Coordination Meetings: Resolve conflicts and ensure seamless integration of architectural elements with other disciplines.
  • Assist Preconstruction Teams: Develop preliminary conceptual designs for feasibility and order-of-magnitude budgeting for target-value design.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelor's Degree in Architecture or Engineering.
  • Experience: 5-7 years of architectural design practice experience, design-build experience, or preconstruction experience; with additional or parallel experience in BIM, design and construction technology, project management, and/or construction administration.
