Vacancy expired!
We are an Oakland-based architecture firm looking to hire a residential Design Architect or Junior Designer.
The responsibilities of this position include:
- Preparing preliminary schematic designs
- Developing designs through elevations, sections, and 3D modeling
- Drafting designs
- Managing design tasks autonomously
- Communicating with clients and our team about the design work
- Keeping track of design hours spent
- Staying organized and tracking progress of projects
Experience in residential design is imperative. Candidates may have a degree in architecture or interior design, but real-world experience with residential design is more important than education. 3D modeling experience is also a valuable skill in this position.
Because of the unique division of labor in our office, this position will rarely require you to take measurements, prepare as-built drawings, do CAD drafting, or complete permit drawings. These tasks are managed by others in the office. This job is uniquely focused on the design work and client management.
About Us
Drafting Cafe Architects has been providing quality residential design in and around Oakland for over 9 years. We are located near Fruitvale BART in Oakland. Because we only work on residential remodels and additions, our firm is structured differently than most architecture offices. Job positions in our office are specific to the aspect of the project each person works on. We respect personal life and are flexible with work hours. Our office culture is relaxed and positive.
Compensation is competitive. We offer full health insurance and 401k after an introductory period.
Please send your resume/portfolio in PDF format only, along with an introduction of yourself in the body of your e-mail. Sharing your personal ambitions and hobbies is welcome!
Thank you for your interest!
