Interior Architect / Project Manager

About the Role - Interior Architect / Project Manager

Our client is adding an Interior Architect / Project Manager to work directly with the firm's Principal and take ownership of project delivery. This is intended as a long-term hire, full time in their New York office, with compensation of $130,000 - $150,000.

The Principal leads design direction. This role owns the technical side of the work: you draw the full construction set yourself, then coordinate and run the job through to completion. If you are looking for a position where design authority sits with you, this is not that role.

Site visits are part of the job, and you may meet with clients where a project calls for it, though that varies from project to project.

What you'll need

• 8+ years at a boutique or small residential design firm, having already run projects independently rather than learning to
• Strong AutoCAD skills, drawing high-end private residential work personally
• Independent construction-document leadership, technical quality control and specification knowledge
• Familiarity with the vendors, galleries and workrooms behind genuinely custom work
• Solid command of industry standards, with the ability to refine and improve existing systems
• Value engineering experience
• Familiarity with Procore is a plus
• Comfortable working in a Mac-based office

Nice to have: experience with wood veneer/grain sequencing, custom furniture design, and mentoring junior team members; familiarity with Studio Designer.
