About WAKE: Looking to gain valuable experience working on a highly diverse mix of commercial and residential projects while supported by a mentorship-based culture? WAKE is a values-based firm that strongly believes in integrity, transparency, sustainability, building science, and standardizing processes to ensure everyone is treated fairly and can work efficiently to achieve a healthy work/life balance. We budget for employees to devote 5% of their paid work time to pro-bono and creative projects. Our founder and adjunct professor, Nathan Minett, is an award-winning young architect who runs the firm with a professor mindset and a focus on continuous learning and innovation.
The role: We are a small firm rapidly taking on work, so experience in both the design & technical side of projects is necessary. The primary role of the selected candidate will vary in scale and scope but will mainly consist of operating as a Project Architect while ensuring Client deliverables are met. Work will include multiple design and technical-related tasks, including but not limited to:
REVIT-based drafting, renovation, and new builds
Permit Filing and DOB responses.
Client Meetings and Construction Observation
3D modeling; Rhino & others (occasionally)
Graphic design (occasionally)
Renderings & visualization (occasionally)
The ideal candidate will have a degree/background in architecture, interior design, and/or drafting, with 5-6+ years of professional experience, and be licensed in NYS.
Top candidates should possess the following skills:
Ability to work under the direction of the principal with little supervision while managing a small team.
Ability to produce technical sets with experience permitting and responses to local building authorities.
Ability to contribute towards design and technical sets ranging from SD to CDs for renovation and new build projects.
Ability to take creative direction and effectively apply feedback.
Comfortable with working independently in a growing office.
Comfortable contributing to our growing office culture.
Strong drafting, 3D modeling, and rendering skills to support the team in deliverables and packages.

We believe in continued growth, personally and professionally. As such, WAKE covers the cost of professional training, courses, and certifications. Some are mandatory for all employees, at all levels.
Benefits:
Fair wages, premium healthcare, excellent PTO policy and compensation for unused PTO, and good work-life balance (please go and have a life; I hated working until 2 a.m. as a Junior architect and do not expect people in the office to work past 5:30-6 p.m.).

To apply, the candidate must be a US Citizen or permanent resident.
Salary will be commensurate with experience. If you are qualified and interested, please include your cover letter, work sample (<10Mb), CV, and any questions you might have about the job.
