Description
At RDG, we create spaces that inspire learning, collaboration and community. We’re seeking project architect or planner to join our College & University market in New York City, with a focus on design, project execution and programming.
We’re looking for a detail-oriented and creative architect or planner who thrives in project execution — bringing design concepts to life through technical expertise, problem-solving and collaboration. In this role, you’ll be instrumental in developing programming strategies, working closely with clients to assess space needs, functional goals and long-term campus planning. While relationships in the Northeast are a plus, this role is more focused on project delivery than external business development. You’ll work alongside a team of designers and planners to create meaningful higher education spaces while also contributing to the growth of RDG’s New York office.
