Project Architect

LGA Architecture is seeking a thoughtful and creative Project Architect to join our collaborative, purpose-driven team in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. This is an opportunity to design with meaning — creating spaces that connect people to place, nature, and one another.

We’re looking for someone with at least 8 years of professional experience, a degree in architecture, and current architectural licensure. You should be comfortable leading both the design and technical aspects of projects, from early concept through construction.

At LGA, we consider ourselves a learning organization. We value curiosity over certainty, and we believe that a willingness to listen, grow, and challenge assumptions leads to better outcomes — for our projects, our clients, and our team. We’re looking for someone who brings a growth mindset, not just a résumé of completed projects.

The ideal candidate brings

• Strong design sensibility and technical rigor
• Experience with public-sector projects and stakeholder engagement
• Leadership skills that inspire trust and collaboration
• A commitment to sustainability and community impact
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• An open mind and a collaborative spirit

Our work — from visitor centers to community spaces — is driven by respect, dialogue, and deep engagement with the people we serve. You’ll be part of a team that’s passionate about architecture and even more passionate about making a difference.

We offer a competitive salary based on qualifications, along with a strong benefits package and an energizing work environment.

Required

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture from an accredited program
• Current architectural licensure
• Minimum 8 years of professional architectural experience
• Demonstrated experience leading projects from concept through construction
• Strong proficiency in construction document production
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary consultant teams
• Strong understanding of building codes, accessibility requirements, and construction administration
• Excellent written, verbal, and graphic communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining quality and attention to detail

Preferred

• Experience with civic, community, cultural, educational, parks, recreation, or public-sector projects
• Experience facilitating stakeholder meetings, public outreach, and client presentations
• Knowledge of sustainable design principles and high-performance building strategies
• LEED Accredited Professional, Living Future Accreditation, or similar credentials
• Experience working with federal, state, or local government agencies

What You'll Bring

• A growth mindset and commitment to lifelong learning
• Curiosity, humility, and a willingness to challenge assumptions
• Strong design thinking balanced with technical problem-solving
• A collaborative approach and ability to build trust with clients, consultants, and teammates
• Passion for creating meaningful places that strengthen communities and connect people to nature
