Job Descriptions:
DesignLeveL is looking for a design professional eager to undertake the design, production, and delivery of architectural
projects while also learning about the function of operating an architecture firm. Working under the direction of the project
leader, responsibilities will include following a project through from conceptual design through construction administration.

takes to be awarded a project and see it through to completion. In addition to the traditional project design process
