Project Architect / Job Lead

Who We Are

Kōz Development provides affordable, innovative living, in highly sought-after urban neighborhoods and near college campuses. Our housing is accessible to students and individuals in the workforce, providing a high-quality option to live near work, school, and local amenities such as restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and grocery stores. Our projects are environmentally friendly and intentionally located near transit, requiring little to no dependence on an automobile for transportation.

What You’ll Do

As a Lead Project Architect, you will design Kōz buildings from the ground up by applying our in-house best practices carefully developed and regularly updated to maximize living spaces ensuring that every resident has an experience above and beyond their expectation. You will also learn to work effectively with municipal entities to apply for and receive all necessary permits in a timely manner and to collaborate closely with your onsite superintendents to successfully manage construction administration activities ensuring your Kōz buildings are always completed on schedule and within budget.

In this role you will report directly to the Vice President of Design and Construction, one of two Kōz founders, who will help to develop your abilities and enable you to thrive in our collaborative, fast-paced, and strong team environment.

Most importantly, we are looking for senior team members committed to being part of a team focused on bringing our company from good to great.

Where You’ll Work

Kōz is located in beautiful Snohomish Washington, a small town in rural Snohomish County less than an hour from downtown Seattle. Snohomish is a thriving historic place with a strong local business and service community and fabulous school district. Some team members walk to work from their nearby homes or Kōz apartments while others have short commutes from more rural locations offering ample space and privacy. Koz leads have the flexibility for occasional remote work when needed.

What You’ll Bring

Your proficiency in Autodesk Revit will allow you to contribute from your first day at Kōz. Your experiences in commercial projects, and especially including multifamily low-rise and mid-rise buildings will significantly boost the value you bring with you to Kōz, as will existing skills and experiences in construction administration, architectural detailing, commercial building standards, and zoning and building codes.

What You’ll Take Away

Together with your new team, you will become a stronger and more fully capable architect that understands and leverages your skills for the entire process of design and construction. You will develop and improve your strategic mindset, your strong interpersonal and communication skills, and ambitious personality interacting in multiple engagement relationships with diligence and accuracy.

If you don’t already have your professional license, you will also be strongly encouraged and supported to become a candidate to receive your professional license.

What You’ll Earn

Your salary is largely dependent on experience but is expected to start at $100,000 per year.

You will receive a generous annual, performance-based bonus.

You may receive an opportunity to gain Kōz equity through an ownership program based on your past performance, demonstrated growth and expected future contributions.

You will have opportunity to contribute to an excellent 401K plan with generous matching.
