Senior Commercial Architect in Pittsburgh

Job Description

About the role

DiCicco Development is a Pittsburgh-based Class A commercial office ownership firm seeking a Senior Commercial Architect to join our in-house design and construction team. This is an owner-side position — your designs get built. You are not a vendor.

You'll work directly alongside our Registered Architect / Director of Design & Construction, with a clear path to succeeding her in a senior leadership role as she moves toward retirement.

What you'll do

• Lead architectural design and space planning for tenant improvements and capital projects across our 1M+ sq ft portfolio
• Produce construction documents and architectural drawings in AutoCAD
• Serve as owner's representative through full construction administration — submittals, RFIs, site observation, contractor coordination
• Partner daily with our Facilities team and tenants to assess space needs and drive improvements
• Collaborate directly with ownership on design standards and portfolio strategy

What we're looking for

• Architecture degree (B.Arch or M.Arch) required — this role is design-led, not project management-focused
• 10+ years of commercial office architecture experience
• Hands-on construction administration experience
• RA license strongly ; unlicensed candidates with strong experience considered
• AutoCAD proficiency; Revit a plus

Why this role is different

• Owner-side: direct influence over design, budget, and execution
• See projects through from programming to ribbon-cutting
• Clear succession path to Director of Design & Construction
• Stable, well-capitalized firm with a long-term portfolio
