According to Archinect’s Guide to Job Titles, an Architectural Designer exists as a polymorphic phenomenon so varied and nuanced that there subsists no exhaustive description of their fundamental nature. Some might run their own projects, working through all phases of a project, while others may only operate in the schematic phases. It’s also worth noting the broader industry use of the title “Designer.” In Unlicensed? Don’t call yourself an ‘Architectural Designer’ or ‘Design Professional’, we provided a brief survey of some state-level regulations and their relation to unlicensed professionals. 

So, are you an Architectural Designer looking for a job? For this week's curated job picks we're highlighting nine firms that are seeking the right candidate to join their team.
