Entry Level Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level architect job?
Entry level architect roles reward candidates who can show concrete work: school projects, internship drawings, or a digital portfolio demonstrating AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM proficiency. Employers at this stage prioritize candidates who are pursuing or have completed their architecture degree, passed at least one ARE division, and can contribute to production work under a licensed architect from day one.
Which companies hire entry level architects?
Companies hiring entry level architects right now include GitLab, Humana, and Capgemini, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. The mix typically includes regional architecture firms, national design-build contractors, and corporate real estate departments that run structured junior architect programs.
Are there remote entry level architect jobs?
Yes, though fully remote roles remain a smaller share of the market at this stage. About 66% of entry level architect openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with hybrid arrangements more common since most firms expect junior architects to participate in site visits, client meetings, and in-office design reviews.
Are these new grad architect jobs?
Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior architect roles alongside other entry level postings. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or studio work as qualifying background, and does not require licensure, making a strong portfolio the most important thing you can bring to the application.
Which industries hire the most entry level architects?
Entry level architect roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Non-Profit & Social Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they run ongoing project pipelines that require production support from junior staff, giving new architects structured exposure across project phases.
