Hot Takes
This is a rewarding job, but it’s not always glamorous. You’ll work on a wide range of project types, including background infrastructure projects and everyday civic spaces that don't always make headlines. You will juggling multiple deliverables, sweating the details in the field, and collaborating on shared deadlines that aren't always in our control. That means being accountable to your teammates as much as your clients. We work hard, and sometimes the work is fast-paced or messy—but it's always meaningful. If you value craft, utility, and impact more than the spotlight, you’ll fit right in. (There is the occasional spotlight too)
