• Coordinate across a matrixed internal team (including architecture, engineering, and environmental design) and external partners to efficiently resolve design challenges.
• Track and incorporate feedback, comments, and redlines under tight, deadline-driven timelines.
• Collaborate actively in virtual team environments, including participating on-camera during Microsoft Teams meetings.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required (Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field preferred).

• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on professional experience using AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam Revu, and Microsoft Excel.
