    Senior Architect - Lansing, MI
    DISHER is partnering with an engineering-forward architecture firm to add a Senior Architect to their team in Lansing, MI. This company is a full-service, multi-disciplinary practice and true one-stop shop for clients, delivering projects from concept through construction across higher education, K–12, heavy industrial, commercial, healthcare, mixed-use, and multi-family markets. In this role, you will lead the conceptualization, design, planning, and execution of facility-related architectural projects, ensuring they meet client requirements, codes, budgets, and schedule expectations.
    What it’s like to work here
    You’ll join a small, highly experienced team that prides itself on doing complex work with the efficiency that many larger firms need far more people to achieve. The culture is relationship-first and community-oriented, built on long-term client partnerships, mutual support, and a strong sense of camaraderie within the team. This environment is well-suited for someone who values quality, collaboration, and having a visible impact on both projects and people.

    What you will get to do

    • Collaborate with clients to define project objectives, outline goals, and understand budget and scope constraints.​
    • Lead the development of architectural designs and detailed construction drawings using Revit and other CAD/BIM tools.​
    • Create and present design proposals, including 3D models and visualizations, to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory agencies.
    • Ensure compliance with building codes, zoning regulations, and other applicable standards throughout all phases of design and construction.​
    • Conduct site visits and assessments to evaluate existing conditions and provide recommendations and solutions.
    • Coordinate closely with internal engineering disciplines and external construction partners to translate design intent into accurate construction plans.​
    • Review contractor bids, proposals, and construction documents to help ensure quality, alignment with design, and adherence to project specifications.​
    • Oversee construction progress as needed, including site observations and participation in resolving design-related issues in the field.
    • Work with architects, designers, drafters, engineers, and contractors to maintain effective communication and successful project delivery.​
    • Stay current on industry trends, materials, technologies, and best practices in architectural design and construction.

    What will make you successful

    • Master’s Degree in Architecture from an accredited institution preferred; Bachelor’s Degree considered with strong experience.​
    • Current license to practice architecture in Michigan (or ability to obtain in a reasonable timeframe); NCARB registration and LEED accreditation are preferred.​
    • 8-10 years of professional architectural experience, ideally with industrial, commercial, multi-family, municipal, and/or educational projects.​
    • Strong proficiency in Revit and other architectural design software; familiarity with AutoCAD and BIM workflows is highly desirable.​
    • Extensive knowledge of architectural principles, building codes, zoning regulations, and construction methodologies.​
    • Excellent design and visualization skills with the ability to clearly communicate concepts to clients and internal teams.​
    • Strong planning and organizational skills with the ability to manage time and priorities in a dynamic, project-driven environment.​
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, strong problem-solving ability, and high attention to detail.​
    • Ability to function effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team and to mentor and guide less-experienced staff as appropriate.
