Position Overview

Join a collaborative Grocery & Markets Studio that’s shaping how people shop, gather, and connect in their communities. We’re seeking a Job Captain with strong technical skills and attention to detail to lead the contract documentation process and help deliver exceptional retail environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead production of contract documents for grocery and market projects.
• Navigate permitting and AHJ approvals efficiently, ensuring smooth approvals.
• Coordinate closely with project managers, consultants, and internal design teams to translate design intent into construction-ready drawings.
• Support adaptive reuse and new construction documentation.
• Ensure accuracy, detailing quality, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Collaborate effectively across teams to maintain timelines and client expectations.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Architecture (preferred, not required if equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of professional architectural experience , ideally within grocery, retail, restaurant, or healthcare environments.

• Proficiency in Revit – hands-on expertise is non-negotiable.

• Solid knowledge of building codes, architectural detailing, and permitting processes .

• Familiarity with construction contract administration .

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

• A proactive mindset , collaborative attitude, and the ability to thrive in a hybrid work environment.

Work Location & Flexibility

• Hybrid role: Primarily based in Phoenix, AZ .

• Occasional in-office collaboration in Long Beach, CA and field trips to Southern California building departments for permitting.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: Up to $95,000/year (commensurate with experience).

• Hybrid flexibility supporting work-life balance.

• Mentorship and development opportunities within an inclusive studio culture.

• Wellness programs to support personal and professional growth.

• Opportunity to contribute to award-winning design projects with industry-leading architects.

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll help bring everyday spaces to life —from neighborhood grocery stores to community-centered markets—where great design meets technical excellence. Work alongside talented designers and leaders who value collaboration, creativity, and precision.
