Job Description
Gray Design Group is looking for an experienced professional in the AEC industry to serve as a construction administrator for our Architecture and Interior Design Studios. This position requires excellent organizational skills, attention to detail and the ability to work collaboratively with multiple parties involved during the construction administration phase.

We have built a personable and welcoming team, which is why nearly every new hire says the top thing about Gray is ‘its people.’ This passionate group of dedicated and deeply motivated people (or, as we affectionately call them, “groupies”) are energetic and giving. As a small and certified Women-Owned Business, we value the importance of creating a diverse workforce and portfolio within a friendly and approachable environment. We value teamwork and encourage learning by supporting personal and professional growth.

At Gray, we understand that individuality, passion for design and the desire to create an impact is often inspired by your personal life. Flexibility in work schedule with a people-first attitude creates a culture that employees are proud to represent. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gray offered staff the flexibility to work outside of traditional office hours, the ability to work from home and a variety of other tools to better meet unique needs. Groupies also deserve a robust benefits package and financial support for CEU credits.

Our approach to design is rooted in the belief that architecture, interiors, branding and graphics are essential components to the overall success of a project. Varying design disciplines are not treated as phases that happen sequentially but as integrated components critical to the design process.
