This aspect of their practice concentrates on the assessment, renovation, repair, and enhancement of existing buildings and sites to prolong their use and viability.

• Candidate shall possess at least 10 years of relevant experience, preferably in an architectural firm, and minimum of 5 years of experience conducting building assessments and writing technical reports.
• Candidate for this position should have a background in architecture, engineering, building forensics, interior design, or construction management.
• Bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, or similar courses of study preferred. Candidates that do not possess a degree but have solid building and construction knowledge gained through work experience will also be considered. (Please provide a portfolio of recent projects.)
• Licensure as either a Registered Architect or Professional Engineer is preferred.

Preferred Skills:

• Candidates must possess strong skills in Team organization and collaboration, design, technical documentation, detailing, code review and interpretation, and consultant coordination.
• Ability to work productively and independently on multiple projects, adhering to client deadlines with guidance from senior firm leaders.
• Analytical thinker with the ability to evaluate existing building conditions, building systems, and information to formulate scope of work.
• The ability to read and understand as-built design drawings as well as to perform field inspections is critical. This includes building envelope details and material functions regarding moisture infiltration.
• Ability to prepare property condition assessments, including technical writing proficiency, understanding of cost estimating for general budget purposes, accessibility, and understanding of various funding agency guidelines, requirements, tools, and processes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ongoing communications with multiple clients are an important part of this position.
• Good technical computer skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and BIM software (training provided for the ArchiCAD system that we use).
