BrightLeaf continues to grow and expand and we need an intrapreneurial Project Architect that is creative as well as pragmatic. If you're in architecture to build trophies, this role isn't for you. If you're in architecture to bring better design to as many people as possible while understanding there is a balance to be found with design and cost, you're probably off to a good start.
In this role, you'll contribute BrightLeaf’s and every individual projects' success by harnessing Revit to help clients make the most out of their project budget, provide them an amazing experience, and keep their project buildable and on schedule. We’re looking for a high energy individual that not only deeply understands Revit and residential and small multifamily design at a high level but can also successfully manage a client and their project through a very specific process designed to provide a build experience not found elsewhere. No joke and simply put, you have to be a really dynamic person to fit and succeed at this role.
