About The Position

Kiewit is hiring a Building Architect for its Industrial & Water Engineering group, supporting building design from conceptual envelope design through construction administration. The role contributes to a diverse portfolio of industrial and infrastructure projects, including healthcare, biotech, pharmaceutical, data center, power, federal and municipal, nuclear, water and wastewater, university, manufacturing, transportation, and industrial process facilities. Much of the work uses Design/Build and Engineering/Procurement/Construction (EPC) delivery models, allowing architects to support projects through construction. The architect works with multidisciplinary design teams and subcontractors to develop estimates, conceptual designs, and construction documents, and to support construction administration. Responsibilities include architectural design, code and life-safety analysis, coordination with authorities having jurisdiction, technical bid reviews, value engineering, and coordination with structural, MEP, fire protection, security, and telecommunications disciplines. The position uses Revit and Navisworks and may involve field work and work at different locations. More senior architects may lead teams and projects, interface with customers, and mentor junior architects. The position may be based in Kiewit’s Lone Tree, Colorado office; candidates in the Lone Tree/Denver metro area are preferred. Relocation assistance may be considered for highly qualified candidates. A registered architect is preferred, and Kiewit may support licensure by covering exam costs and providing a bonus upon obtaining the license.
