About the Company
We are partnering with a well-established residential construction firm specializing in custom remodeling and select new-build projects. They value professionalism, craftsmanship, and a high-touch, personalized experience.
The culture is collaborative, relationship-driven, and people-first, guided by core values of resourcefulness, excellence, and trust-based decision-making.
We are seeking a Residential Architect to support our preconstruction and execution efforts, with a primary focus on producing clear, highly buildable construction drawings and collaborating across our development and production teams.
Moving beyond traditional design, this role within the design-build firm is centered on constructability, execution, and real-world problem-solving. You will play a critical role in moving projects from concept through construction by ensuring plans are coordinated, actionable, and ready for the field. By identifying gaps early, clarifying intent, and supporting timely decision-making, you will directly help reduce delays and keep both clients and internal teams aligned and moving forward.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and refine construction drawings for remodels, additions, and custom homes
Work with clients in preconstruction to drive clarity, alignment, and timely decision-making that supports project progress
Proven track record of producing permit-ready construction documents.
Work directly with project managers and field teams to resolve design and constructability challenges in real time
Identify gaps in plans and proactively provide clear, actionable solutions
Improve plan clarity to reduce field confusion, delays, and rework

3–5 years of experience in residential architecture or design
Strong experience with single-family homes (remodels and additions highly preferred)
Experience working directly with clients during preconstruction
Proven ability to produce field-ready, buildable construction documents
Experience collaborating with construction teams, project managers, or builders
Proficiency in:
Revit (preferred)
AutoCAD
Residential design software (Chief Architect, SoftPlan, or similar)
Who You Are
Builder-Minded: You think about framing, plumbing runs, and structural loads, not just aesthetics. You understand how a house actually goes together.
Decisive You have the confidence to make a call and keep the process moving.
Zero Ego: You take direction well and prioritize the client's needs and the project's budget over personal design preferences.
Tech-Forward You are proficient in Revit (preferred) or AutoCAD and are open to using new technology (including AI tools) to work smarter.

Strong pipeline of high-end residential projects
Collaborative, tight-knit team environment
Direct impact on project execution and company processes
