Project Architect

We are seeking a Project Architect with at least five years of experience to join the architecture team in our Trenton, New Jersey office. We are looking for a technically strong architect who is ready to lead projects and help design great places.

Clarke Caton Hintz is a planning and design collaborative. Founded in 1979, we have developed into one of the region’s most respected architectural, planning, and landscape design firms. We have over 40 people in one office, more than 20 of them architects, working alongside colleagues in planning, landscape architecture, and interior design. Having all of those disciplines in-house widens the range of projects we pursue and the problems clients ask us to solve. Our aim throughout is enduring architecture, livable places, and durable environments. We balance high-performance design with thoughtful approaches to celebrate places and context. Our work has been recognized with nearly 200 awards since 1994.

Projects range across higher education, civic and municipal buildings, courthouses and justice facilities, libraries, housing, parking structures, athletic facilities, historic preservation and adaptive reuse, and interiors, for public- and private-sector clients across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and the region. A large share of the work is renovation and new construction in buildings that remain in use while the work is underway. Designing for the long term shapes how we practice.

Your role
As a Project Architect, you will lead projects of varying size, working alongside principals, associate partners, and senior architects who lead our practice areas and support you on your projects. You will work directly with clients and present to their committees and boards, carry a project from early design through construction documents, bidding, and construction administration, and coordinate with our structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil consultants. You collaborate closely with our interior design team from the earliest stages of a project, fostering an integrated design approach that considers architecture and interiors together throughout the design process. You will mentor architectural designers and staff working toward licensure while continuing to receive mentorship from our senior architects.
