Project Architect

FINFROCK is the true definition of “design-build”. It is a collaborative effort between Design and Construction during the entire process of providing our clients with the finished product. At FINFROCK, you will experience the true essence of the “Master Builder”, as our Architects get the opportunity to see their conceptual designs develop in the office, then see the actual construction of their designs out in the field with our own crews. Unlike most traditional architecture firms, FINFROCK embraces the opportunity to use our construction sites as a classroom for our staff. For FINFROCK architects, there is no greater sense of accomplishment than to see the projects we design rise out of the ground, with a full understanding of the challenges of their constructability. ### Duties and Responsibilities - The Project Architect will be responsible for translating project requirements and specifications into clear, concise and detailed project documents - As a member of the Design team, the Project Architect will help convey effective building ventures from the design concept through the completion of construction - Support and guide team members within a team-building environment - Coordinate with Project Manager at the onset of Design Development regarding design concept and scope - Review Milestone schedule with PM to confirm schedule and commitment of content at various Milestones - Be responsible for the technical content of the project documents - Coordinate with the entire design team including coordination of specifications with the documents - Be Responsible for managing and coordinating the Design / Build MEPFP Consultant Team - Manage and participate in QC reviews - Coordinate with Construction PM during Construction - Manage construction phase site visits - Manage RFI and shop drawing distribution and tracking with the Project Lead - Coordinate with Permit Coordinator for document management, submittals, etc. (includes drawings, RFI and Shop Drawings) - Coordinate with Field Services Manager regarding construction status and ongoing construction issues - Pursue solutions to assigned tasks and develops appropriate research and documentation to support these solutions. - Create and uphold client assurance in our team and operations by sustaining a high quality of proficiency, responsibility, and execution - Contribute to presentations of plans and documents to governing and permitting authorities for land use, zoning and permit approvals ### Qualifications - You have earned a Bachelors or Master’s Degree in Architecture from a NAAB accredited program. - You have 5+ years of experience with at least 3+ years focused on design and planning preferred. - Experience with large-scale multi-family, hospitality, student housing or commercial projects is required. - Architectural license required. - You are more than proficient in Revit and AutoCAD. - You’re an innovative thinker with the ability to articulate and present creative ideas. - You have the ability to provide high class, responsive design solutions and documentation for construction in a range of styles with a proven ability to deliver excellent client service. - You demonstrate excellence in 3-D building massing conceptualization. - You have the ability to work individually and as a team member. - You have excellent organizational and multitasking skills. - You have strong verbal communication skills and the ability to perform in client presentations. - You are energetic, ambitious and with a strong work ethic to consistently meet project design and performance goals. ### Benefits - 401K Plan – Typically we match 100% of Employee contributions up to 15% of your base salary so you can relax and retire one day. - 100% employer-paid health insurance for employee and contribution toward “family” coverage - Life insurance - Short-term and long-term disability insurance - Generous paid time off program
