Architecture Jobs

"Creative individuals designing the blueprints for the built world... ."

Every built structure, whether it is a private residence, hotel, office building, or bridge requires the services of a licensed architect. Architects design the exterior look and feel of a structure as well as create the detailed drawings that show how it is to be built. Other duties may include picking materials for construction and orchestrating pre-construction work such as site selection, due diligence and environmental impact studies. Architects must also create specific technical drawings of where the HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical facilities will be placed inside the structure. An architect’s responsibilities will vary depending of the type of project and the owner. In some cases, architects are responsible for hiring the contractor, negotiating bids and serve as the owner’s agent on the project. In other cases the architect and contractor are hired separately with the architect only responsible for design.

Looking to the Future

As in any industry, technology is quickly changing the face of architecture. Design software has replaced the pencil and drawing table. Architects who are up to date on the latest design technology are able to provide their clients with services and options that were not available in the past. Three dimensional computer renderings of buildings and virtual “walk-throughs” before a single brick is laid have become industry standard. It is the ability to master the new technology coupled with the capability to manage projects and deliver them on time and under budget that will set tomorrow’s architect apart.
