Full job description

Why this role exists

At Revive, we believe the foundation of a successful construction project begins long before the first hammer swings. We're looking for an experienced Senior Architectural Designer to help shape how residential projects are designed, permitted, and delivered across California. This isn't just a drafting role - you'll be a key member of our growing Pre-construction team, working alongside executive leadership, Owner Representatives, engineers, and contractors to turn ideas into construction-ready projects.

If you enjoy solving technical challenges, navigating California permitting, and improving how projects get built, we'd love to meet you.

What you will do
  • Produce complete construction documents using AutoCAD (Revit is a plus).
  • Support project scoping and feasibility assessments - flag zoning issues, setback conflicts, or structural concerns early
  • Design remodels, additions, ADUs, and custom residential projects.
  • Review plans and identify constructability gaps, code conflicts, and design issues early.
  • Lead permit applications from feasibility through approval.
  • Coordinate directly with California planning and building departments.
  • Resolve plan check corrections and keep projects moving.
  • Coordinate with structural engineers, MEP consultants, contractors, and Owner Representatives throughout preconstruction.
  • Help establish drawing standards, QA processes, and permitting best practices.
  • Become a trusted technical resource for our growing Preconstruction team.
Who you are
  • 5+ years of California residential architectural design experience.
  • Strong AutoCAD proficiency required (Revit is a plus).
  • Experience producing detailed residential construction documents.
  • Strong understanding of California Building Code, zoning, and permitting - CBC, CRC, Title 24, accessibility requirements, fire codes where applicable
  • Experience with remodels, additions, ADUs, and residential permitting.
  • Comfortable working directly with cities, consultants, contractors, and internal teams.
  • Licensed Architect is welcome but not required. Strong technical experience is what matters most.

Candidates with experience as Senior Job Captains, Architectural Project Managers, Residential Designers, or unlicensed Architectural Designers are encouraged to apply.
