Archinect
Gregory Switzer Architecture PC (GSAPC) is seeking an experienced Project Architect to join our fast‑growing, design‑focused architectural practice headquartered in Montclair, New Jersey.

This position requires a full‑time, daily in‑office presence to support real‑time collaboration, team coordination, direct mentorship, and efficient project delivery. This is not a hybrid or remote role. Occasional evening public hearings (Planning Board, Zoning Board, HPC (Historic Preservation Commission), Community Board) are part of the responsibilities.

Demonstrate building design expertise, expert‑level knowledge of materials, detailing, assemblies, code compliance, and building systems.
Manage consultant coordination (MEP, structural, civil, landscape) and ensure integration and quality control.
Conduct zoning analysis, DOB/UCC code reviews, building department research, DRC (Development Review Commission) submissions, and HPC packages.
Lead planning board, zoning board, and HPC presentations—including preparation of drawings, exhibits, and narratives.
Conduct site visits, field narrative reports, and documentation of existing conditions.
Oversee construction administration including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, change orders, punch lists, and close‑out.
Must have a knowledge and understanding of AIA documents.
Mentor junior staff and guide project teams in efficient design, drafting, and BIM workflows.
Coordinate project schedules, milestones, and deliverable deadlines in alignment with firm‑wide project management systems.
Qualifications
Must be a licensed Architect in New York or New Jersey (required).
Must be able to work legally and professionally on projects in both NY and NJ.
Mastery of AutoCAD and Revit is required.
Must be skilled in architectural design, detailing with speed, technical accuracy, and professional clarity.
10+ years of professional experience in architecture.
Extensive experience with institutional, commercial, municipal, and/or mixed‑use projects.
Strong communication and presentation skills.
Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative, office‑centered environment.
