About the Company
A well-established, high-end residential design-build firm based in MetroWest Boston. The team delivers thoughtful renovations, additions, and full home transformations, with a strong reputation for craftsmanship and client experience.

Currently a tight-knit group of ~10, with plans to grow, and doing roughly $4–5M annually in design-build remodeling work.

The Opportunity
This is not a back-office design role.

Seeking an Architectural Designer / Project Developer who can operate at the front end of projects — working directly with clients, shaping design, and helping guide projects from initial concept through construction.

This role sits at the core of the business and will have real influence on both design direction and project success.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead client conversations alongside ownership from early concept through project kickoff
  • Develop design solutions for high-end renovations, additions, and kitchen/bath projects
  • Produce drawings, construction documents, and 3D models
  • Document existing conditions and evaluate site constraints
  • Assist with budgeting, scope development, and early feasibility
  • Perform take-offs and help build project estimates
  • Coordinate closely with field teams and trade partners
  • Stay involved during construction to ensure design intent is executed properly
  • Help drive projects from design into production without handoff gaps

What They’re Looking For

  • ~10+ years in residential architecture, remodeling, or design-build
  • Strong experience with high-end renovations (not ground-up heavy)
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats — design, estimating input, client interaction
  • Solid understanding of residential construction (wood frame, sequencing, feasibility)
  • Proficiency in Chief Architect, Revit, or similar tools
  • Able to produce clean, buildable construction documents
  • Strong client presence — someone who can sit at the table, not just behind a screen
  • Bonus: familiarity with NARI standards or design-build environments

Why This Role Is Interesting

  • Direct exposure to ownership and decision-making
  • Real influence over projects from concept through completion
  • Tight, collaborative team — not a corporate machine
  • Consistent pipeline of high-end residential work
  • Opportunity to grow with a firm actively looking to scale.
