Sobre esta vaga de Project Architect or Project Manager na Cuningham
At Cuningham, we design a better world with deep respect for the real one, working toward a world made better by selfless design. Our Phoenix studio brings that purpose to life through a portfolio built on a strong healthcare foundation and extending into workplace, entertainment, and beyond — powered by a team that leads with curiosity, craft, and a shared commitment to getting better together.
This is a role built for growth. Whether you're a Project Architect ready to step into project management, or a Project Manager who wants to stay close to design and technical delivery, you'll have the room to develop a well-rounded skill set while leading projects across a range of market sectors.
We're looking for someone who thrives in front of clients — building trust, setting clear expectations, and earning confidence — while working just as effectively behind the scenes with internal teams. You'll bring the leadership and organizational instincts to shape fees and schedules, manage resources, and steer projects to a strong finish, all while staying enthusiastic about the variety our portfolio offers, healthcare and beyond.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead design solutions, coordination, and production across small to medium-scale projects, through all phases, in a collaborative, iterative process.
- Partner with the Project Manager to build a high-performing team and support member growth through thoughtful task assignment and mentorship.
- Lead client communication, managing expectations, and providing clear, bi-directional feedback.
- Champion regenerative design approaches that benefit the built, social, and natural environments.
- Coordinate with consultants and contractors to drive strong design outcomes.
- Identify project risks early and raise concerns with the Project Manager and Project Executive.
- Lead code review, envelope system design, and resolution of complex code conditions.
- Own the QA/QC process and ensure a complete, quality set of contract documents.
- Lead coordination with the specs team and communication with the local AHJ.
- Support construction administration, site observations, and verifications.
- Contribute to project pursuits, including proposals, interviews, and related content.
- Maintain responsible control over submissions requiring your seal.
What We Look For:
- Licensed Architect (or actively pursuing licensure)
- 6+ years of experience leading design and documentation on small to medium-scale projects.
- Healthcare design experience, or strong interest in growing into the healthcare market, along with flexibility to work across other sectors.
- A naturally curious problem solver who enjoys learning new things and finding better ways to work.
- Someone who takes pride in the details and thrives on solving difficult technical challenges.
- Solid technical grounding in code review, building envelope systems, and construction documentation, with the judgment to balance bold ideas with what is realistic, feasible, sustainable, and durable.
- A collaborative leader who shares knowledge, mentors others, and helps raise the bar for the whole team.
- Someone who shows up with respect, empathy, and genuine commitment to teammates and clients alike.
