Experience working on small‑to‑mid‑size commercial and residential developments

Additional Role Details

Design‑focused role with minimal project management responsibilities

Typical projects include commercial sites, retail developments, and residential communities (2‑5 acre range, with some larger developments)

Highly collaborative but lean team environment (~10‑12 employees)

Opportunity to take ownership of projects and work directly with leadership

Ideal for someone who prefers hands‑on design work over client‑facing coordination
