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 Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level architectural engineer job?
Employers hiring at the senior level look for candidates who have owned projects end to end, not just contributed to them. A portfolio that shows design leadership, coordination across structural and MEP disciplines, and successful delivery on complex or high-budget projects carries more weight than credentials alone. Demonstrating that you've mentored junior engineers or guided a team through a technical challenge puts you ahead of candidates with similar years in the field.
Which companies hire senior level architectural engineers?
Companies hiring senior level architectural engineers 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 covers large architecture and engineering firms, construction companies, government agencies, and corporate real estate departments with active capital project pipelines.
Are there remote senior level architectural engineer jobs?
Yes, though the availability depends on project phase and employer type. About 23% of senior level architectural engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with fully remote roles more common in specification writing, design review, and technical consulting than in hands-on construction administration or site-dependent project leadership.
What makes an architectural engineer role senior level?
Senior level architectural engineer roles are defined by ownership over outcomes, not just task completion. That means leading the technical direction of a project, making consequential decisions on building systems integration, and being accountable for quality and schedule. Mentoring junior and mid-level engineers is typically expected, and senior roles often involve client communication, scope management, and coordination across multiple disciplines or consultants.
Which industries hire the most senior level architectural engineers?
Senior level architectural engineer 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 at this level because they consistently undertake large-scale, technically complex building and infrastructure projects that require experienced engineers to lead design, systems coordination, and delivery.
