Cushing Terrell is seeking a Design Professional with 2 to 5 years of architectural experience to join our integrated architecture and engineering team in Seattle, Washington. This is a full-time, on-site position focused on retail projects for nationally recognized brands across the country. The role is built for emerging architectural professionals who are ready to move beyond redline production (marking up and revising drawings) and take an active role in shaping both design vision and technical execution. Working alongside architects and engineers on fast-paced retail projects, you will help develop design concepts, translate ideas into buildable solutions, and produce drawings, 3D renderings, and technical details in Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp. You will create design and construction documentation for retail environments, with hands-on experience across all phases of a project. We are looking for someone who brings creativity, curiosity, and a drive to push ideas further. At Cushing Terrell, you will collaborate across disciplines and offices, take on meaningful responsibility early, and continue building both your design voice and technical expertise.
