SENIOR ARCHITECT

At Giannone Petricone Associates we are designing environments inspired by a love of city-making and contemporary urban culture. From well crafted interiors to large-scale urban redevelopments (and everything in-between) our work relishes in a close attention to detail and material expression, provocative programs, and thorough investigation and infiltration of local contexts.
GPA relies on its senior staff to see the big picture and lead the successful execution of projects by being a leader and dedicated team player, bringing creativity and approaching tasks with ingenuity. The role is diverse and will involve individual work as well as significant teamwork. A senior staff member is a critical point person who will need the ability to manage different workloads while coordinating effectively with team members, clients, contractors, and others.
We are augmenting our team and are looking for candidates with specific experience in design and drawing production for building, interior, and urban architecture projects.
