    For over four decades, Schmidt Associates has built our entire approach on the idea of Servant Leadership. As servant leaders, our design team seeks to deeply understand our clients and put their mission and goals above our own. This ensures that each design reflects the client, not us. It means clients get the best possible results toward accomplishing their mission.

    • Facilitate communication among multidisciplinary teams, including architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors, to ensure seamless project execution.
    • Stay informed on emerging trends in Higher Education design, such as flexible learning environments, technology integration, and student wellness, and incorporate these insights into project solutions.
    Qualifications:
    • The position has a tactical focus and requires strong skills in organization, problem-solving, communication, logistics, and management in the Higher Education, K-12, and/or Healthcare sectors.
    • Must be able to balance technical solutions with time, cost, and human factors.
    • The ability to establish and nurture client relationships is essential.
    • It also requires a base understanding of the design process and the delivery of services in the construction industry.
