Architetural Designer (5+ Years Experience) Residential/ Multifamily | Design-Build Environment

About Us

The Providence Architecture and Building Company is a boutique design-build division of the Providence Group, a fast-growing, design-centered real estate development team committed to placemaking and creating housing at all price points. We specialize in multifamily design and construction, operating in a fully integrated design-build structure. Unit layout, building efficiency, and constructability are central to our work. Design decisions are driven by real-world constraints, including project feasibility and market performance. 

Firm leadership is deeply involved in the design process. Projects are highly iterative. Layouts are refined repeatedly until they are just right — from unit efficiency to parking yield to buildability. The right candidate will view this as an opportunity to sharpen their skills in a rigorous and collaborative environment. 

Position Overview

You will work closely with firm leadership and contribute meaningfully to projects from early feasibility through construction. We also frequently partner with larger design firms that serve as the AoR on our projects so you'll have the opportunity to also network, coordinate with, and learn from a wide spectrum of architects in the Providence/ Boston market as well.

• Review and redline plan sets from 3rd party external AoR architects to ensure all plans comport to our Company's standards and preferences.
• Coordinate closely with in-house construction team on pre-construction items such as preliminary cost assessments, constructability reviews, MEP strategies, and project delivery strategies 
• Lead small residential projects in full (e.g., single family &, small multifamily) from design through construction administration
