The Opportunity

CORBeL is seeking an Architectural Designer with a minimum of two years of professional experience and solid Revit proficiency to support the development and production of architectural drawings and construction documents.

This role is well suited to someone who has built a good foundation in architectural practice and is ready to take on meaningful day-to-day production responsibility.

You should be comfortable receiving design direction, redlines, and markups and carrying assigned work forward accurately and reliably. You do not need to know everything, but you should be productive in Revit, understand how architectural drawings fit together, pay close attention to detail, and ask good questions when something is unclear.

We are looking for someone who enjoys getting work done, follows through on assignments, works well as part of a project team, and wants to continue developing both technical skills and architectural judgment.

Why Join CORBeL?

We offer a supportive studio environment where designers can grow their technical skills, deepen their design craft, and contribute to meaningful, real-world projects.
