Job Description
About the role
DiCicco Development is a Pittsburgh-based Class A commercial office ownership firm seeking a Senior Commercial Architect to join our in-house design and construction team. This is an owner-side position — your designs get built. You are not a vendor.
You'll work directly alongside our Registered Architect / Director of Design & Construction, with a clear path to succeeding her in a senior leadership role as she moves toward retirement.
What you'll do
- Lead architectural design and space planning for tenant improvements and capital projects across our 1M+ sq ft portfolio
- Produce construction documents and architectural drawings in AutoCAD
- Serve as owner's representative through full construction administration — submittals, RFIs, site observation, contractor coordination
- Partner daily with our Facilities team and tenants to assess space needs and drive improvements
- Collaborate directly with ownership on design standards and portfolio strategy
What we're looking for
- Architecture degree (B.Arch or M.Arch) required — this role is design-led, not project management-focused
- 10+ years of commercial office architecture experience
- Hands-on construction administration experience
- RA license strongly preferred; unlicensed candidates with strong experience considered
- AutoCAD proficiency; Revit a plus
Why this role is different
- Owner-side: direct influence over design, budget, and execution
- See projects through from programming to ribbon-cutting
- Clear succession path to Director of Design & Construction
- Stable, well-capitalized firm with a long-term portfolio
To apply: Send resume, brief cover note, and portfolio samples (PDF)
