Architectural Job Captain

Are you a detail-oriented architectural professional who thrives on diagnosing building-envelope problems and turning field findings into drawings contractors can build from? If you value collaboration and growth, we’d like to meet you.

About Us: Since 1974, Danmeier Waldorf Architects (DWA) has specialised in building-envelope rehabilitation, forensic architecture, and project management for HOAs, multifamily communities, and single-family residences across the Bay Area. We unravel complex construction issues, explain them in plain language, and design repairs that protect communities and their budgets.

Position Overview: As a Job Captain you will take ownership of repair drawings, field documentation, and day-to-day coordination on active rehabilitation projects. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our project managers, translating site findings into Revit details, preparing concise forensic reports, and guiding projects from investigation through construction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and redline repair drawings and details in Revit; maintain Bluebeam mark-up sets.
  • Draft clear forensic reports and spec sections.
  • Conduct roof, balcony, and façade inspections (ladders, lifts, drones) and organise photo logs.
  • Track RFI/submittal responses and coordinate with consultants and contractors.
  • Help refine DWA detail standards and QC checklists.

What We Offer

  • Compensation: Salary $85,000 – $100,000 DOE plus discretionary bonus.
  • Time off: 14 days PTO, 8 sick days, 9 paid holidays, +2 floating holidays each year.
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401 k with match, profit-share.
  • Professional growth: ARE & CEU reimbursement, paid study time, monthly building-science workshops.
  • Flexibility: Hybrid schedule (two remote days/week), home-office tech stipend, mileage reimbursement for site travel.

Why DWA?

  • Join a firm that combines deep building-science expertise, a commitment to sustainable design, and a mission to make our communities more resilient.
  • Work with a recession-proof client base and projects that move quickly from diagnosis to construction.
  • Supportive team culture that values clear thinking, rigorous documentation, and straight talk.

Qualifications

  • 5 – 8 years architectural experience, including multi-family rehab or Type V construction.
  • Proficient in R evit, Bluebeam Revu , and Google Workspace.
  • Strong technical writing skills for reports and specifications.
  • California driver’s licence; comfortable on roofs, lifts, and scaffolds.
  • Nice-to-have: CDT, RWC, or equivalent mastery of spec writing and waterproofing detailing (we’ll cover credential costs).

If you’re ready to turn real-world building issues into elegant, buildable solutions, send one PDF (résumé, brief cover letter, and 2-3 drawing samples under 10 MB) to careers@danmeierwaldorf.com with the subject line “JC25 – Your Name .” 

Let’s build better buildings together.
