Do you have a passion for architecture and want to make a difference through design? We are looking for someone with creativity, experience, and a great work ethic to join our firm. We are in need of an individual with experience in all phases of project management including programming, pre-design, schematic design, design development, and construction administration.
Architecture Incorporated is a respected leader within the region, and our team is comprised of dedicated professionals who strive to provide high-quality design and excellent service to our clients. In addition to aligning with these core values, the successful candidate must also be willing to help mentor junior staff as they grow in their craft. You won’t find any egos within our office walls. We treat one another with respect and embrace a culture that fosters collaboration and encourages personal growth. By taking such good care of our own team, we know that they will in turn take great care of our clients. This is reflected by the fact that more than half of our staff has been with the firm for a decade or longer and a significant portion of our work is for repeat clients. If you have a positive attitude, are highly motivated with a customer centric mindset, and are willing to relocate to Sioux Falls, SD, we would love to hear from you.
