Position Overview

Anderson Studio of Architecture & Design is seeking a Senior Architectural Technologist / Construction Documents Specialist to play a critical role in the technical execution of our high-end custom residential projects.

This is a senior-level, individual contributor role focused on translating design intent into clear, coordinated, and buildable architectural documents. The position emphasizes technical judgment, constructability, and execution excellence rather than people management, client leadership, or project financial responsibility.

The ideal candidate is deeply experienced, detail-oriented, and motivated by the satisfaction of producing precise, thoughtful construction documentation that supports both design integrity and successful construction.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead the technical development of architectural drawings through Design Development and Construction Documents

• Produce clear, consistent, and well-coordinated drawing sets suitable for permitting and construction

• Develop detailed architectural assemblies that reflect design intent, constructability, and long-term performance

• Coordinate architectural scope with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty consultants

• Identify and resolve conflicts between architectural intent and consultant systems

• Anticipate constructability challenges and proactively propose technical solutions

• Support construction-phase documentation through RFI responses, submittal review, and technical clarification

Collaboration & Studio Integration

• Work within project teams led by Project Managers

• Collaborate closely with the Design Director to ensure faithful execution of design intent

• Provide technical insight that supports documentation quality, clarity, and schedule predictability

• Contribute to studio-wide technical rigor through example, collaboration, and shared standards

What Success Looks Like

• Clear, coordinated, and buildable construction documents

• Reduced documentation-related RFIs and late-stage revisions

• Reliable delivery of documentation milestones

• Positive impact on project team efficiency, clarity, and predictability

Qualifications

• Degree in architecture, architectural technology, engineering science, or a related technical discipline

• Minimum of 12 years of experience producing construction documents for custom residential or similarly complex projects

• High level of personal accountability, precision, and follow-through
