Architect(s) (full-time, multiple openings) needed in Seattle, Washington to determine how to strategically and pragmatically approach the design of the project by determining the types of materials to be used on the project from the proposal process through project definition and launch by determining the zoning and code requirements for the project. Provide technical guidance and innovative solutions to resolve complex technical and design issues such as ensuring that design solutions meet all regulatory requirements. This includes developing and proposing multiple strategies and methods to innovatively approach the project's design, as well as conceiving various design approaches. Lead all project phases to drive client projects from concept through design development to obtain client approval of the design. This includes conceptual designs, presentations, schematic design (graphic presentations, physical models, 3D renderings) and design development. Collaborate and communicate with design team, clients, consultants, contractors, fabricators, vendors and regulatory agencies to create presentations to meet overall project objectives. Visually synthesize client project goals and direct assimilation into the project. Lead pre-design tasks, including occupancy studies and zoning analyses. Once the designs are developed, prepare and produce detailed Revit drawings and ensure that the client, project team and contractors can easily comprehend designs. Lead the construction administration phase of the project, including ensuring builder compliance with design specifications, responding to substitution requests, RFI's (requests for information), reviewing shop drawings and submittals by contractor and advise on design corrections. Conduct and document site visits. Lead documentation coordination with full consultant teams such as structural, MEP, lighting, AV, acoustic, landscape, civil and other consultants. Research and specify materials appropriate for project execution to validate that they are the right materials based on performance criteria. Lead the sustainability integration and coordination of any project certifications as part of the requirements for the project. Must have a Master's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Architecture, Interior Design, or related field, plus two (2) years of design experience (non-intern, non-fellowship) with all of the following: (1) Producing high quality renderings, building site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations, and construction details for technology, mixed-use, business office development, and retail projects; (2) Coordinating with general contractor, structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), lighting, facade, audio/visual, acoustics, interiors, wind, landscape, civil consultants, and working directly with other consultants and/or contractors for project documentation and construction and applying Quality Assurance and Quality Control methods throughout project; (3) Preparing full schematic design, design development, construction document sets based on site surveys and other design inputs with necessary supplemental documents prepared with other 2D and 3D software including AutoCAD, Revit, Illustrator, SketchUp, InDesign, 3ds MAX, Bluebeam Revue, Rhino utilizing V-Ray, and Enscape; (4) Developing all design stages (including site analysis, design concept, design narrative, sustainability simulation tests, floor plans, sections, elevations, and photo-realistic renderings) for large complex projects for entertainment, hospitality, transportation-oriented development, large-scale corporate campuses, financial institutions, and retail, mixed-use development projects; (5) Construction Administration experience with mixed-use and retail projects, and working knowledge of materials, construction techniques, building codes, standards, building construction, and building structures; (6) Developing the schematic design of the co
