What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Architectural Designer position at Premier Construction & Design?
About the Company - Premier Construction & Design is a single source “design-build” company that has clientele ranging from small property owners to large institutions and corporations, providing our clients with initial design concept through construction completion. Different from a traditional Architectural firm, Premier designers and architects work directly with the construction team, who are their direct co-workers. This allows for open communication on projects from the beginning allowing teams to vet out any issues up front, speak directly to the constructor to trouble shoot design ideas and work collaboratively to provide our clients with the best outcome. If you enjoy working with a close-knit team, you will fit right in with our talented team that works hard, but also understands what a work-life balance is.
