Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/senior-architect

A Senior Architect is a licensed design professional who leads building projects from concept through construction documentation, translating client goals into technical drawings using tools like AutoCAD and Revit within a Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow. They typically supervise junior architects and drafters, coordinate with engineers and contractors, and manage project budgets and timelines. Strong client relations and project management skills are essential, as the role often involves presenting design concepts directly to owners and navigating permitting and code compliance.
