Architect II / III – Boise, ID

Design that drives purpose. Projects that leave a legacy.

We’re seeking a skilled and motivated Architect to join our growing team in Boise, where you’ll play a key role in delivering thoughtful, high-impact design solutions across healthcare, higher education, and civic spaces.

As an Architect II or III, you will contribute both strategically and technically—collaborating with senior architects, leading project delivery, and supporting client goals from early planning through construction completion. You’ll have ownership over your work, support from leadership, and an opportunity to influence design excellence at every step.

What You’ll Do

Depending on your experience level (II or III), responsibilities may include:

  • Design + Documentation

    • Lead design conversations and translate vision into technical documentation.

    • Develop drawings, 3D models, and renderings that communicate design intent and meet project requirements.

    • Guide setup of specifications and ensure drawing coordination and documentation accuracy.

  • Project + Client Leadership

    • Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, and QA/QC processes to ensure seamless execution.

    • Serve as the main point of contact for internal teams and external consultants.

    • Maintain strong communication with engineering disciplines, clients, contractors, and regulatory authorities throughout the lifecycle of the project.

  • Team Mentorship + Oversight

    • Provide guidance to emerging professionals and design team members.

    • Offer direction on technical challenges, quality standards, and architectural best practices.

  • Business Development (Architect III)

    • Contribute to client development efforts through relationship building and proposal preparation.

    • Support firmwide visibility through leadership in design and delivery.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Architecture from an accredited program.

  • Architectural license required (in any U.S. jurisdiction).

  • 8–10+ years of professional experience in architectural design and project management.

  • Experience with healthcare and/or higher education project types strongly preferred.

  • Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD; familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, and InDesign is a plus.

  • Strong working knowledge of construction methods, codes, and specifications.

  • Ability to lead teams and coordinate across disciplines in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Preferred (But Not Required)

  • LEED accreditation and understanding of sustainable design strategies.

  • Experience with Building Information Modeling (BIM), IPD methodology, or buildingSMART principles.

  • NCARB certification.

Why Join Us

Our studio fosters purposeful design, technical mastery, and career growth. You’ll be supported by a leadership team that values transparency, trust, and long-term partnership—not just production output. If you’re seeking a place where your impact goes beyond projects—and into community, mentorship, and legacy—we’d love to meet you.
