Are you an experienced architect or designer looking to make a global impact from your home office? NORR is looking for a skilled Residential Designer to join their international team and help shape the future of urban living.
About the Role
NORR isn’t just an architecture firm; it’s a global collective of 800 professionals pushing the boundaries of design. Since 1938, they have evolved into a fully integrated, employee-owned powerhouse. They focus on creating walkable, sustainable, and resilient neighborhoods, and they want you to be part of that story.
As a Designer, you won’t just be drawing lines. You’ll be developing solutions that balance aesthetics with real-world budget constraints. You will collaborate with engineers, site teams, and other designers to ensure every phase of a project—from concept to construction—runs smoothly.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take ownership of project design and coordination. Your typical day will involve:
- Analyzing project requirements and translating them into high-quality design solutions.
- Coordinating with other disciplines to integrate structural and MEP systems.
- Conducting site visitations to ensure the build matches the design vision.
- Reviewing shop drawings and project documents to maintain strict quality standards.
- Using your expertise to solve construction-phase issues in real-time.
Requirements for Success
NORR is looking for someone with serious industry experience. You should bring:
- 7-10 years of professional experience in architecture or design.
- Advanced proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Photoshop.
- A solid understanding of MEP systems, structural building logic, and local building codes.
- A post-secondary degree in a relevant field.
- Previous experience with residential projects is highly valued.
- If you are registered with a professional architectural association, that is a huge plus.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a high-level role for someone who understands how to manage the full lifecycle of a building project. With a salary range of $70,000 to $105,000, you are being compensated for your technical skill and your ability to lead complex residential initiatives. You’ll be working with a team that values innovation, sustainability, and design excellence.
