Every South Mountain design-build project rests on a foundation of integrated architecture, engineering, and construction. The design process is where these elements are first woven together. You’ll join a small, tightly-knit team of problem solvers who collaborate to advance the architectural expression of high-performance, low-carbon building. The bulk of your time will be spent assisting the Director of Architecture and Project Architects with the design/build process from predesign through closeout.
