Job Captain - 3F0A001

Description

Snipebridge, a strategic talent solutions company specializing in connecting exceptional talent to great career opportunities in the Architecture & Planning industry, is seeking a Job Captain.

CLIENT

Our CLIENT is a full-service boutique residential architecture and interior design studio based in Los Angeles. The firm was founded by two experienced architects and is built around an integrated design philosophy. Treating architecture, interior architecture, and interior design as a single, unified discipline rather than separate scopes.

The studio works across the full residential spectrum: intimate interior renovations, complete architectural remodels, and large-scale custom new construction. It is known for its highly personal, hands-on approach, distinctive design aesthetic, and sensitivity to clients' individual lifestyles. The firm has offices in Los Angeles and Northern California, with an active and growing project pipeline.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a talented and motivated Job Captain to join this collaborative team in their Los Angeles studio. This is a hands-on role at the core of project delivery that owns the drawing set, coordinates the consultant team, and ensures the design vision translates into buildable, permit-ready documents. In this position, you will work directly alongside the founding partners and gain exposure across all phases of a project. This is a role for someone who wants meaningful design involvement, not just production throughput.

The ideal candidate has a strong command of interior architecture. Understanding how space, materials, lighting, and details come together combined with the technical fluency to lead a project through construction documents and into the field. Single-family residential experience is a strong plus.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

•     Manage the production of construction document sets from design development through permit submission and construction administration

•     Own drawing coordination across all disciplines

•     Prepare and maintain project schedules, drawing logs, and submittal trackers

•     Serve as the primary point of contact for consultants and contractors during the documentation and construction phases

•     Develop detailed interior architecture drawings including reflected ceiling plans, millwork, cabinetry, kitchen and bath layouts, built-in details, and finish schedules

•     Produce material and finish schedules in coordination with the interior design scope

•     Resolve design intent at the detail level

•     Coordinate architectural lighting design, including cove lighting, recessed layouts, and specification sheets

•     Respond to RFIs and prepare supplemental instructions during active construction

•     Review and process submittals, shop drawings, and material samples

•     Support punch list preparation and project closeout

•     Collaborate directly with founding partners on design development decisions

•     Participate in client meetings and presentations as appropriate

•     Contribute to the firm's culture of design excellence and continuous learning

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

•     Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch) or Interior Architecture

•     4–6 years of professional experience in architecture or architectural interior design

•     Proficiency in AutoCAD preferred (not required)

•     Demonstrated expertise in SketchUp, Rhino, or other 3D modeling tools

•     Understanding of building systems, construction methods, and materials

•     Knowledge of building codes, zoning regulations, and accessibility standards

•     Strong technical drawing and detailing skills

•     Demonstrated experience leading or significantly contributing to construction document sets

•     Excellent verbal and written communication skills

•     Solid understanding of interior architecture (millwork, finish details, RCPs, lighting, and material coordination)

•     Single-family residential project experience, ideally custom or luxury homes

•     Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team

•     Experience with wildfire rebuild projects or fire-resistant construction a notable plus
