DESCRIPTION
You'll work closely with experienced design and program management partners, contributing directly to composite delivery across a diverse portfolio of building types. If you're technically strong, a quick learner, and energized by work that has real operational impact — this is a great place to grow.
Key job responsibilities
- Produce accurate 2D/3D composite designs using AutoCAD and Revit in support of fulfillment network projects
- Incorporate vendor-provided MHE designs and module placements into BIM models per established standards
- Support clash detection and under-the-roof design validation to ensure composite accuracy before construction
- Maintain organized, audit-ready files in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) following team data governance standards
- Collaborate with design and program management partners to meet project milestones and delivery timelines
- Flag design issues or discrepancies early and communicate clearly with the team to resolve them quickly
- Apply feedback and iterate quickly to meet quality standards under tight deadlines
A day in the life
Most of your day is spent in the tools — AutoCAD, Revit, and ACC — producing and refining composite designs. You'll receive project briefs and design inputs from your team, translate them into accurate layouts, and work through reviews with your manager or design partners to get them across the finish line.
You'll ask good questions, catch things early, and take ownership of your deliverables. When something isn't right, you say so. When a deadline is close, you focus. This is a role where doing the work well — consistently and accurately — is what matters most.

Senior Level Architectural Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level architectural designer job?
Employers at this level look for a portfolio that demonstrates project leadership and design ownership, not just execution. Candidates who can show they have driven a project from concept through construction documentation, resolved complex coordination challenges, and mentored junior staff have a clear edge. Licensure strengthens your candidacy, and experience across varied project types signals the range these roles demand.
Which companies hire senior level architectural designers?
Companies hiring senior level architectural designers right now include Colliers Engineering & Design, Worldwide Mission Critical, and Connico, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of large full-service architecture and design firms, corporate real estate development groups, and specialty practices focused on healthcare, civic, or commercial construction.
Are there remote senior level architectural designer jobs?
Yes, though fully remote roles are less common at this level than hybrid arrangements given the coordination demands of active projects. About 23% of senior level architectural designer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, concentrated in roles focused on design development and documentation rather than site-phase work.
What makes an architectural designer role senior level?
Senior level roles carry ownership over project design decisions, client relationships, and deliverable quality from schematic design through construction administration. The scope expands beyond individual tasks to include coordinating consultants, guiding junior and mid-level staff, and resolving issues that require both technical depth and professional judgment. Leadership within the project team, not just individual contribution, is the defining marker.
Which industries hire the most senior level architectural designers?
Senior level architectural designer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Construction & Real Estate, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring because they fund large-scale or highly regulated projects that require experienced designers who can own complex deliverables and manage multi-discipline coordination without close oversight.
