Architect Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a architect in Colorado?
To practice as a licensed architect in Colorado, you must earn a professional degree in architecture from a NAAB-accredited program, complete the Architectural Experience Program hours, and pass the Architect Registration Examination. The Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and Professional Land Surveyors issues the state license. Colorado also participates in the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards reciprocity program, so architects licensed in other states can apply for Colorado licensure by endorsement.
How much do architects make in Colorado?
Architects in Colorado earn a median of about $102,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,990 for the lowest 10% to over $170,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire architects in Colorado?
Employers hiring architects in Colorado right now include Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and BAE Systems USA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's public sector, including state agencies and large metro school districts, is also a consistent source of openings alongside private commercial developers headquartered in the Denver metro.
Which Colorado cities have the most architect jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Broomfield account for the greatest concentration of architect openings in Colorado. Denver dominates due to its sustained commercial construction boom and large public-sector clients, while Boulder attracts firms specializing in sustainable and civic design, and Colorado Springs draws demand from military installation projects and regional healthcare expansion.
Are there remote architect jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 77% of architect openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most architectural work requires site visits, client meetings, and hands-on construction administration. The portions of the role most suited to remote or hybrid arrangements are schematic design, drafting, and BIM coordination work that does not require physical presence.
How can I get hired as a architect in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an intern architect or architectural designer position at a mid-size Colorado firm while completing Architectural Experience Program hours toward licensure. Denver-area firms such as Stantec, OZ Architecture, and Anderson Mason Dale regularly bring on recent graduates in production and design support roles. Building a portfolio that includes studio work, any internship projects, and LEED or Revit proficiency gives candidates a clear edge over those without documented technical skills.
Where can I find and apply to architect jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to architect jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and other markets. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each employer.
