This Isn't Just Another Job. And We're Not Just Another Architecture Firm.
Are you the kind of person who thrives on the job site, not behind a desk? Do you get a thrill out of coordinating teams, solving problems in real time, and ensuring complex projects run like a well-oiled machine? Can you juggle site visits, client meetings, contractor calls, RFIs, submittals, and still find time to answer that urgent email?
If you nodded three times (or more), keep reading. We're Solutions Architecture — and we're not just growing, we're scaling.
With more than 20 years of client loyalty under our belt and a workload that will take us from now and into the future, we're expanding our team to include dedicated Construction Administrators. We've been named one of the Best Places to Work in NJ for five years running — not because we say so, but because our people do. Needless to say, this isn't a 9-to-5 gig. This is a boots-on-the-ground, high-energy, all-hands-on-deck role for someone who knows how to own a job site and be the central communication hub that makes everything flow. Your Mission:
Be the primary liaison between the contractor and the client — building trust, setting expectations, and keeping everyone aligned. Attend weekly job meetings, walk the site, and report construction progress with clarity and confidence. Coordinate directly with consultants and engineers to get answers fast and communicate with them effectively. Respond to RFIs, review submittals, and track schedule milestones to keep projects on time and on budget. Document like a pro — site reports, photos, logs, and correspondence that become the backbone of successful delivery; the firm embraces technology, with software and equipment that help us work smarter, not harder. Represent Solutions Architecture with professionalism and poise — because our name is on every decision made in the field. Provide early warnings, flag risks, and most importantly: bring solutions. Experienced — Minimum 5 years of field experience in Construction Administration for architectural projects ranging from $500K to $25MM. Organized to the bone — Able to manage multiple projects and priorities without breaking a sweat. Unshakable — Chaos doesn't rattle you; you stay cool, focused, and communicative under pressure. A people person — You know how to build relationships with clients, contractors, and consultants alike. Technically sharp — You understand how buildings go together and can speak the language of trades, consultants, and engineers fluently. Available and adaptable — If you're looking for a cushy desk job or a clock-puncher's lifestyle, this isn't it. A culture-first workplace built on teamwork, transparency, and trust. A+ Clients we've worked with for decades (because they love us). Projects that matter — mostly in K-12, higher education, and public work sectors. Competitive salary based on experience. Annual performance bonus. Half-day, virtual Fridays, all year long (Yes, really: 8:30-2:00 on Fridays!) Flex hours, collaborative leadership, and a place where your voice is heard. A background in architecture or engineering (recommended). Experience with NJ public projects, especially in education. Familiarity with construction software platforms and reporting tools.
