About The Position

Dimensional Innovations (DI) is seeking a Junior Architect to support architectural design and documentation under the direction of the Senior Project Architect. The role focuses primarily on drawings and project information for tenant improvements, interiors, renovations, and ground-up work, including architectural scope within DI's experiential environments. The Senior Project Architect delegates assignments, establishes priorities, provides technical direction, and reviews the Junior Architect's work. The Junior Architect translates sketches, markups, and approved decisions into coordinated documents while working with engineers, DI Build, and fabrication teams. The position contributes from early design through closeout, with most time focused on documentation. Documents and responses are reviewed before issue, and signing and sealing drawings are not part of the role.
