Careers

SMR recognizes great design comes from a wide variety of voices. We embrace diversity and equal opportunity, and the benefits they provide to our company, our clients, and our community. We are committed to building a team that provides cultural richness and multiple perspectives. The more inclusive and diverse we are, the better our work is. SMR is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

SMR Architects is an architectural firm with a simple mission – to put people first. We craft inspired environments where people want to live, learn, work, and play, and we operate under the ethic that everyone deserves enduring, quality design based on conscientious planning and principles of sustainability. For us, architecture is about the people and community who ultimately use a building. Our practice focuses on affordable housing, renovation & historic preservation, sustainable design, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development.

In addition to providing a creative and collaborative work environment, we currently offer the following benefits: medical, dental, vision and long-term disability insurance, with employee premiums fully covered; ten paid holidays; two weeks’ vacation; 8 hours of paid community service; ORCA transit pass; 401(k) retirement plan with 3% Safe Harbor match and discretionary profit sharing. SMR’s current policy requires a minimum of 60% in-office working days: Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus an additional 8 hours in-office at the employee’s discretion. Up to 40% of a typical work week may be conducted remotely. Opportunities for continuing education, seminars, and mentorship are provided and encouraged. SMR supports NCARB’s Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and provides opportunities to work on all phases of projects of varying size, scope, and style. We encourage the pursuit of licensure and provide support for the Architecture Registration Exams (ARE) and provide reimbursement of half the yearly dues for AIA membership.
