Project Architect at DELV Design

DELV’s place-based practice unites creative, human-centered design with a pragmatic and collaborative spirit, crafting authentic contemporary spaces anchored in community and context. Our approach is built on a shared purpose: enriching our communities through thoughtful design. Our process is deliberately divergent and iterative, balancing opportunities and constraints with optimism. We are research-based and relationship-driven. We respect cultural, environmental, and economic forces in the pursuit of quality and meaningful solutions that endure. We foster connections through thoughtful engagement to guide our clients through transformational work.

• A self-starter who enjoys creative autonomy and takes initiative.
• Someone who takes their craft seriously, but themselves…not so much.
• A curious teammate who keeps learning and invests in the team’s success.
• Someone who enjoys moving between roles on varied projects and collaborative teams.

As a project architect, you’ll lead day-to-day architectural delivery for a diverse mix of projects, from due diligence and design through permitting, construction administration, and closeout.

• Develop and coordinate architectural drawings, details, and specifications across project phases.
• Lead code analysis, accessibility review, permitting coordination, and integration of engineering consultant work.
• Coordinate team tasks and milestones, communicate with clients, and work with the project manager to maintain scope, schedule, and budget.
• Participate in construction administration, including submittals, RFIs, site observations, and project closeout.
• Check document quality and consistency, resolve technical issues, and support less experienced team members.

• 4–9 years of professional architectural experience and a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in architecture.
• An architectural license in Indiana or your state of residence.
• Proficiency with Revit and Adobe Creative Suite; SketchUp proficiency preferred.
• Ability to plan and detail varied construction types and carry design intent from concepts through technical documentation.
• Experience coordinating consultants, applying codes, and delivering projects; clear communication and organization.
• Experience with adaptive reuse, renovation, and/or historic preservation projects strongly preferred.

Salary within this range will reflect experience, qualifications, and demonstrated project leadership. DELV offers a full benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance; paid family leave; generous PTO; and a culture you can't find anywhere else.
