Project Architect

LGA Architecture is seeking a thoughtful and creative Project Architect to join our collaborative, purpose-driven team in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. This is an opportunity to design with meaning — creating spaces that connect people to place, nature, and one another.

We’re looking for someone with at least 8 years of professional experience, a degree in architecture, and current architectural licensure. You should be comfortable leading both the design and technical aspects of projects, from early concept through construction.

At LGA, we consider ourselves a learning organization. We value curiosity over certainty, and we believe that a willingness to listen, grow, and challenge assumptions leads to better outcomes — for our projects, our clients, and our team. We’re looking for someone who brings a growth mindset, not just a résumé of completed projects.

The ideal candidate brings:

Strong design sensibility and technical rigor Experience with public-sector projects and stakeholder engagement Leadership skills that inspire trust and collaboration A commitment to sustainability and community impact Excellent communication and presentation skills An open mind and a collaborative spirit Our work — from visitor centers to community spaces — is driven by respect, dialogue, and deep engagement with the people we serve. You’ll be part of a team that’s passionate about architecture and even more passionate about making a difference.

We offer a competitive salary based on qualifications, along with a strong benefits package and an energizing work environment.
