Architect Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an architect in Minnesota?
To become a licensed architect in Minnesota, you must earn a professional degree in architecture from a NAAB-accredited program, complete the required hours of work experience through the Architectural Experience Program, and pass all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. Licensure is issued by the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design. Architects licensed in another state may apply for reciprocal licensure in Minnesota.
How much do architects make in Minnesota?
Architects in Minnesota earn a median of about $99,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,500 for the lowest 10% to over $138,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire architects in Minnesota?
Employers hiring architects in Minnesota right now include Optum, Wipro, and Ecolab, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's strong base of architecture and engineering firms, healthcare systems, and large construction companies creates consistent demand for both project architects and senior design leads.
Which Minnesota cities have the most architect jobs?
The cities with the most architect openings in Minnesota are Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Eden Prairie. Minneapolis-Saint Paul dominates hiring because it concentrates the state's largest firms, corporate headquarters, and ongoing public and mixed-use development, while Rochester benefits from sustained healthcare construction tied to Mayo Clinic and Duluth draws work through civic and infrastructure projects along the Lake Superior corridor.
Are there remote architect jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're limited. Architecture work is heavily site-dependent, and most roles require on-site presence for client meetings, construction administration, and field review. About 87% of architect openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in the early design, programming, and documentation phases where desk-based work is feasible.
How can I get hired as an architect in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or junior designer role while completing Architectural Experience Program hours toward licensure. Large Minnesota firms such as HGA, BWBR, and Perkins&Will's Minneapolis office regularly bring on recent graduates for entry-level positions in design development and documentation. Candidates who hold an NAAB-accredited degree, have a strong portfolio demonstrating studio and technical work, and have begun their AXP hours are most competitive. Adjacent roles in interior architecture or construction project coordination can also provide a bridge into licensed practice.
Where can I find and apply to architect jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to architect jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings by location or specialty, find the roles that fit your background and experience level, and apply directly to the ones that match.
