Project Architect

Project Architect

Higher Education, Healthcare, or Science & Technology experience preferred

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected architecture practice that combines the resources, project pipeline, and stability of a nationally recognized design organization with the culture and accessibility of a close-knit local team. The Raleigh office offers a collaborative, design-focused environment where individuals have the chance to make meaningful contributions, be heard, and continue growing professionally.

The team is seeking a licensed architect who enjoys leading projects from a technical and coordination standpoint while working alongside multidisciplinary teams on complex facilities. Ideal candidates will have experience supporting projects within higher education, healthcare, science & technology, research, or similarly complex building types.

What You"ll Be Doing

• Serve as a technical leader and key contributor throughout design and documentation phases.
• Guide project teams through building code compliance, quality assurance, constructability considerations, and technical problem solving.
• Coordinate closely with architects, engineers, consultants, and other project stakeholders to develop integrated design solutions.
• Support project planning efforts, schedules, staffing coordination, and technical execution.
• Oversee the development and coordination of construction documents utilizing BIM/Revit workflows.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to emerging professionals and junior team members.
• Stay current on evolving building systems, industry trends, technologies, and code requirements to continuously elevate project delivery.

What They"re Looking For

• Registered Architect with a professional degree in Architecture.
• Approximately 6+ years of experience within an architectural practice.
• Experience in Higher Education, Healthcare, Science & Technology, research, advanced facilities, or other technically complex project types.
• Strong understanding of building codes and construction documentation.
• Proficiency with Revit/BIM platforms.
• Ability to lead project coordination efforts, communicate effectively with clients and project teams, and foster a collaborative team environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hybrid flexibility with significant trust, autonomy, and ownership over your work.
• Strong project backlog and long-term stability supported by a nationally recognized design organization.
• Opportunity to work on impactful, large-scale projects while remaining part of a mid-sized local team where your voice and contributions are visible.
• Clear opportunities for professional growth, increased project leadership, and long-term career development.
• Vibrant North Raleigh office in a highly accessible area with walkable coffee shops, restaurants, and retail nearby.
• Collaborative team culture that values mentorship, technical excellence, and design innovation.
