10+ Years Experience  |  Columbus, OH (In-Office)  |  $111,920 - $124,940

BBCO is a Columbus-based architecture and interiors firm founded on a simple but powerful belief: great people doing great work deserve an environment that matches their ambition. Since 2009, we have built a culture grounded in trust, humility, and an Eye to Elevate — in every project we deliver and every person we grow. We are looking for a Senior Project Architect who has earned their expertise, leads with presence, and is ready to shape work that leaves a lasting mark.

THE ROLE

The Senior Project Architect is a trusted technical and design authority at BBCO. You will present directly to clients on complex design and technical solutions, work alongside Project Management to supervise the team's design and technical delivery, and serve as a reliable force for quality and consistency across every project you touch. This is a role for someone who has seen enough to lead with confidence — and is humble enough to keep learning.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Present directly to clients on technical and design solutions with authority and clarity
• Partner closely with Project Managers to supervise and elevate the team's design and technical output
• Serve as a subject matter expert on complex building systems, materials, and project delivery
• Lead design development and construction documentation on projects of significant scope and complexity
• Provide technical oversight and mentorship to junior architects and architectural staff — mentorship is mutual here
• Coordinate with consultants, contractors, and agency reviewers through all phases of project delivery
• Uphold BBCO's standard of accuracy and craft — we build and re-build until it is right
• Contribute to a culture of Shared Sight: communicate proactively, stay organized, and bring the team along

WHAT YOU BRING

• Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch)
• 10+ years of architectural experience with demonstrated senior-level project responsibility
• Deep command of design, technical documentation, and construction administration across project types
• Proven ability to present confidently to clients and lead multi-disciplinary project teams
• Mastery of Revit and project delivery workflows; comfort with evolving design technology
• Exceptional attention to detail paired with the big-picture thinking to see what others don't
• A communication style that is honest, direct, and consistent — you over-communicate before you under-deliver
• A collaborative, ego-free approach: you know the best outcomes come from great teams, not lone stars

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary: $111,920 - $124,940 (commensurate with experience)
• A senior role with real influence over design quality, team culture, and client relationships
• In-office environment in Columbus, OH — inclusive, interesting, and refreshingly real
• A firm that values your personal time equally to your professional time — balance is built in, not bolted on
• The opportunity to shape the next chapter of a growing, purpose-driven firm
• A team of Genuine Visionaries who care more because they are compelled by a purpose that really matters

WHO THRIVES HERE

You are technically masterful and people-smart in equal measure. You bring your full personality to the table, lead with empathy, and hold yourself — and those around you — to a standard of work that consistently exceeds expectations. You believe that architecture is both craft and service, and you show up every day prepared to deliver both.

Licensed | 6–8+ Years Experience | Columbus, OH (In-Office) | $79,440–$111,390

BBCO is a Columbus-based architecture and interiors firm with an Eye to Elevate — in the built environment and in the teams that shape it. We are inherently non-conformist, committed equally to accuracy and creativity, and relentlessly focused on impact. We're growing, and we're looking for a seasoned licensed architect who can lead complex work, mentor others, and move seamlessly between visionary thinking and technical mastery.

THE ROLE

Depending on your background and experience, you may be placed at Level 2 (6+ years) or Level 3 (8+ years). At both levels, you will own significant technical and design responsibilities on major projects — including education, residential, and mixed-use work — while contributing to a culture that prizes collaboration, mentorship, and persistent progress.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead specific technical design aspects of major projects from investigation through recommendation
• Investigate, evaluate, and recommend design solutions that best meet client needs
• Apply advanced architectural concepts independently; develop new techniques and approaches where needed
• Provide architectural consultation on large, complex projects in planning, design, and coordination phases
• At Level 3: Participate in conceptual design and provide full project support as a subject matter expert
• At Level 3: Liaise with Project Management, consultants, and firm leadership on technical solutions and strategies
• Mentor and guide less experienced team members — because mentorship is mutual here

WHAT YOU BRING

• Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch)
• Active architectural license (required)
• 6–8+ years of architectural experience, with demonstrated project leadership
• Proven command of Revit and project delivery workflows
• An advanced, nuanced eye for detail — you see what others don't
• Strong communication skills: clear, accurate, and direct
• A collaborative mindset with the confidence to develop and represent a technical point of view

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary: $79,440–$111,390 (level determined by experience and qualifications)
• In-office culture in Columbus, OH, with a refreshingly real team that leaves ego at the door
• Meaningful work across education, residential, and mixed-use project types
• A firm where you are empowered to find your fulfillment, own your impact, and level up continuously
• Leadership opportunities as the firm grows

WHO THRIVES HERE

You are a technically excellent architect who also leads with empathy. You challenge assumptions, communicate with clarity, and believe that the best work happens when great minds build together. You never settle for 'good enough,' and neither do we.

Are you an architect seeking a different kind of career, full of fast-paced, creative design across a wide variety of project types? Would you like to work directly with the craftsmen who build your designs? Ferguson Construction has a rare opportunity for you to develop as an architect.

This is an on-site position, and can be based in any 1 of our 4 regional offices located in Sidney, Columbus, Dayton, or Indianapolis.

Ferguson Construction Company is seeking to add a Design Architect to our internal, interdisciplinary design team. We are a premier Design-Build contractor with regional offices in Sidney, Dayton, and Columbus, Ohio, as well as in Indianapolis, Indiana. Ferguson designs and constructs large and small projects in many sectors: industrial, commercial, non-profit, educational, recreational, retail, religious, and healthcare.

The company has been in business for more than 100 years! Ferguson has been dedicated to excellence and delivering exceptional quality and customer service since 1920. We believe in crafting spaces that enrich lives, enhance workplaces, and celebrate communities. We pride ourselves on delivering transparency from concept to completion, and continuously finding better ways to build greater efficiency, certainty, and value into every project. Ferguson empowers employees to grow throughout the design-build process. The company encourages cross-training and interaction with our in-house estimating, operations, quality control, and safety staff. Our staff designs and develops over $125 MM worth of design-build work annually.

Design-Build takes the adversarial relationship between designers and contractors and throws it out the window. RFIs and ASIs are now internal conversations with your fellow Ferguson employees.

This position is for an ambitious person willing to grow and eventually lead. This position will lead the building design process from conceptual design development and code analysis, through construction document creation, permit submission, and construction support.

This position will mentor our talented young staff and help support our commitment to co-ops in our design department.
