Project Architect / Project Manager

The Project Architect/ Project Manager position at CO Adaptive spans both the Architecture and Construction operations. We are looking for an individual with a professional degree in architecture, preferably a Masters in Architecture, along with 6 years experience post-graduation, with at least 2 years as a Registered Architect in projects of similar scale and typology that align with CO Adaptive’s portfolio.

We are looking for an individual who believes in the mission of the organization, and is enthusiastic about streamlining our operations, nurturing our culture, and furthering the practice.

The ideal candidate has strong communication skills and can effectively manage project budgets, schedules, client expectations, and consultant deliverables. A seasoned knowledge of Revit is preferred but we can train if needed.
