- Work closely with architects, interior designers, and landscape architects
- Mentor team members and elevate technical standards
- Navigate codes, consultant coordination, and constructability
- Contribute to evolving firm-wide documentation standards
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture

- Architectural licensure
- Expertise in complex detailing and high-performance systems
- Experience in cultural, hospitality, or education projects
- Strong collaboration with contractors and project teams
- Proficiency in Revit, BIM 360, and Bluebeam

A design-driven, 27-year practice with a collaborative studio culture, award-winning work, competitive compensation, profit-sharing, and long-term growth potential — all based in Richmond, VA.
Please submit a thoughtful cover letter (we do read them), your resume, and a curated selection of relevant work as a single PDF (not to exceed 15MB) to careers@3north.com.
