Senior Project Architect - Core & Shell

Our SF studio is a 100-person team inside a 3,000-person global firm, which means you get the resourcing and technical bench of a major practice with the accountability and visibility of a small one. Someone who can sit across from a client's development team, a structural engineer, and a code official in the same afternoon and speak all three languages fluently, then go back to the drawing and make the call. This is the job, not a task within the job.Own QA adherence to Perkins&Will standards across the project lifecycle.Coordinate architecture, interior design, landscape, and external consultants into one functioning team, even when their priorities don't naturally align.Serve as the technical voice to the client. Translate jargon in both directions.Manage regulatory review and AHJ submissions for building code, accessibility, and zoning, particularly the jurisdictional quirks specific to complex urban work.Run construction contract administration effectively, which means your team doesn't just show up to meetings, they close loops.Stay current on building technology and systems relevant to high-rise and mixed-use delivery.Contribute to pursuits, proposals, and interviews when the work calls for it.Lead charettes, pin-ups, and design reviews that produce decisions, not just discussion.Mentor staff and manage assignments in a way that grows their judgment, not just their task list.What You'll Bring Pay Transparency: We are committed to pay equity.
