Project Architect | Full Project Lifecycle Ownership

Project Architect — Milwaukee, WI 

About the Firm

This is a privately owned, award-winning architectural firm in Milwaukee with a reputation built on design quality and technical rigor. The team is small by design. The work reflects it. They are known in the local market for delivering thoughtful, well-executed projects and have the recognition to back it up.

The Role

This is not a role where you do one phase and hand it off. You own the project — from early design conversations with the client through construction administration. That means you are part of the decisions that shape the building, and you are there when it gets built.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading projects from concept and schematic design through design development and construction documents
• Managing the bidding and permitting process
• Conducting construction administration, including site visits, RFI responses, and contractor coordination
• Direct client interaction throughout the project lifecycle
• Producing and reviewing detailed construction documents in Revit
• Collaborating closely with firm leadership and contributing to design decisions at every phase

Requirements

• Licensed Architect or candidate in the licensure process preferred
• Proficiency in Revit — this is a technically demanding environment and Revit fluency is not optional
• Experience across multiple phases of architectural project delivery
• Strong communication skills; clients interact with you directly
• Someone who wants ownership, not just assignment

Why This Role

• Full project lifecycle exposure — concept through construction, every time
• Direct mentorship from the firm's owner, a highly technical and accomplished architect
• A culture that invests in its people — team recognition, firm events, a close-knit environment
• Work that reflects the quality of the people producing it
• An award-winning firm with a strong local reputation
