Senior Technical Architect / Architect of Record

About JAQUE

JAQUE is a luxury design firm specializing in high-end residential, hospitality, retail, and commercial environments across Arizona and select markets nationwide, including California, Florida, and Montana.

Projects range from luxury residential renovations to hospitality, retail, and commercial interior environments with a strong focus on interior architecture and technical project coordination.

Our company operates in a highly collaborative, design-driven environment where communication, organization, technical accuracy, adaptability, and execution all matter equally.

We are seeking an experienced Arizona-licensed architect to support technical project oversight, construction documentation, consultant coordination, permitting, and project delivery across a variety of project types.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced architect seeking flexible, meaningful involvement in high-end projects without the demands of running a firm.

Role Overview

The Senior Technical Architect / Architect of Record supports construction documentation, technical coordination, permitting, consultant management, and drawing review across multiple projects and jurisdictions.

This role works closely with the Founder, design team, and project management team to help maintain technical quality, organization, accountability, and steady project execution.

Projects are developed within BIM-based workflows and may involve coordination with consultants, contractors, municipalities, and local architects across multiple states.

This role is primarily focused on interior architecture, technical coordination, documentation, and project delivery associated with interior project scopes.

This is not a purely conceptual design role. We are looking for someone who enjoys the technical side of architecture, problem-solving, organization, and helping maintain structure and momentum throughout project execution.
