Project Manager
Learning environments only work when design intent survives the schedule. This role keeps educational projects clear, coordinated, and on course from programming through occupancy. You will be the person owners, consultants, and designers rely on when decisions are due and classrooms cannot slip.
Performance Objectives
- Lead assigned K-12, higher-education, and performing-arts projects so scope, fee, schedule, and design intent stay aligned through each phase.
- Turn owner goals into work plans, agendas, and decision logs that produce timely choices from architects, engineers, and contractors.
- Hold project financials to plan by spotting scope drift early, documenting change, and keeping fees and consultant costs visible.
- Run client and consultant meetings that close open items, then follow up within the agreed window.
- Coordinate construction administration so submittals, RFIs, and site observations protect design quality and contract requirements.
- Track risks across a multi-project load and escalate issues before they threaten occupancy or the learning environment.
- Close each phase with a short lessons record so the next school or campus project starts faster and cleaner.
Environment & Resources
You will work inside a mid-size architecture studio focused on educational planning, sustainable design, interiors, and construction administration. You will partner daily with project architects and interior designers and report to studio or project leadership. Tools include Revit coordination, markup and issue tracking, and standard scheduling and project-management software. You will manage project plans and consultant coordination within approved fees, not a separate capital budget.
Essential Qualifications
- Proven delivery of architecture projects from kickoff through closeout, with education, civic, or similarly complex owner work preferred.
- Hands-on control of schedule, scope, and fee, including change documentation that protected both design and margin.
- Ability to run decisive client and consultant meetings and leave a clear written record.
- Working knowledge of construction administration: submittals, RFIs, and field coordination.
- Fluency with AEC coordination tools used by architects and consultants.
- Clear writing and calm judgment when multiple projects compete for the same week.
- Licensed Architect in the state of Texas
Role Selling Points
- Work that shows up in schools, campuses, and performance spaces students actually use.
- Projects that join planning, sustainable design, interiors, and constructionnot production-only support.
- A studio small enough that your decisions shape the work, not a distant account.
- Owners who care about learning outcomes, so good process has a visible result.
