About the role
Job Description: Project Architect
Johnston Design Group · Greenville, SC · In studio or hybrid; remote considered for experienced candidates · Full time
Johnston Design Group is a boutique architecture firm in Greenville, South Carolina, and a leader in restorative design: buildings that enhance the well-being of their occupants, achieve economy through conservation, and honor the natural resources of every site. We design in different shades of green — practical, economically sound sustainability, not dogma.
The role:
As Project Architect, you'll lead the day-to-day architecture on several projects at once, guiding the design phases and producing clear, coordinated construction documents. You'll work closely with fellow architects, our interior design studio, consultants, general contractors, and owners — keeping everyone informed and the design intent intact.
What you'll do: Manage concurrent projects from schematic design through construction documents
Facilitate design-phase meetings, reviews, and owner presentations
Produce complete, coordinated, buildable construction documents
Coordinate structural, MEP, civil, and landscape consultants
Partner with GCs and owners on pricing, constructability, and value analysis
Lead code and zoning research, design review submissions, and permitting
Support construction-phase RFIs, submittals, and site visits
Required
5+ years of professional experience in architecture
Urban mixed-use and multifamily experience, including construction documents
Strong knowledge of codes, accessibility, and Fair Housing requirements
Commitment to sustainable, restorative design with a practical, business-minded approach
Exceptional organization and collaboration skills

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
