LEAD ARCHITECT

Architect Specific

• Provide architectural design leadership and project management throughout all phases of design and construction.
• Develop conceptual, schematic, design development, and construction documents (drawings and specifications).
• Produce rendered images, animations, and marketing materials to support project pursuits and business development efforts.
• Deliver milestone packages in accordance with project schedules and quality standards.
• Establish and maintain drafting templates, BIM standards, and design libraries to support internal workflows.
• Support 5D / Model-Based Estimating collaboration with Preconstruction teams.
• Assist in Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) efforts including model coordination and clash detection.
• Apply knowledge of construction means and methods across projects of varying size and complexity.
• Support preconstruction planning, field coordination, and construction administration activities.
• Participate in site visits to gather data, verify existing conditions, and support field teams.

Preconstruction Process

• Support design-build project pursuits, including development of project scope, preparation of proposal deliverables, and participation in client presentations and interviews.
• Along with the construction Operations Team Lead, coordinate with Preconstruction and Design to ensure the appropriate Budget is established, all design and preconstruction meetings are conducted, as required.
• Work with Preconstruction to analyze alternative design options

Oversee Project Design

• Lead architectural design efforts from concept through construction, ensuring design intent, quality, and technical accuracy.
• Coordinate closely with civil, structural, and MEP engineering disciplines to develop integrated building solutions.
• Collaborate closely with construction, estimating, and engineering teams to ensure design solutions are practical, buildable, and aligned with project budgets.
• Ensure compliance with building codes, life safety requirements, and applicable regulations and other local codes and standards.
• Serve as a leader during design coordination meetings with clients, consultants, and internal project teams.
• Review submittals, respond to RFIs, and support the team during the construction administration phase.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary design efforts and resolve design conflicts, constructability issues, and field constraints early in the design process.
• Mentor and support the development of junior architects and designers.
• Coordinate with project management to ensure design deliverables meet project milestones.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design standards, workflows, and technical practices within
