Qualifications Bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in architecture is highly preferred.

Excellent communication, organization, and project management skills. Experience coordinating with engineering consultants and construction teams. Passion for urban revitalization, sustainable design, and meaningful placemaking. Why This Role Is Unique You will work directly with the Managing Partner, influencing the creative direction of high-impact development projects.
