Technical Documentation Manager

Job Description

We represent a mission-driven architecture firm known for designing spaces that serve students, teachers, and diverse communities across California. For decades, this firm has built its reputation around :

• Innovative education-focused design
• Sustainability and responsible material choices
• A low-ego, collaborative environment
• Long-term employee retention (people genuinely like working here)

This is a firm where technical expertise is respected at the same level as design creativity.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a Senior Technical Design & Documentation Manager — a strategic leader who elevates project quality, trains emerging designers, and improves how drawings and documentation are produced across the studio.

This role is ideal for someone who loves architecture and design but feels the greatest impact when they improve HOW the work is delivered — not just producing drawings.

This isn’t a production role.

This is a technical leadership role.

Why This Role Matters

Your work will help ensure that the firm’s design vision becomes reality — beautifully, efficiently, and consistently.

$120,000–$160,000+ depending on experience

Hybrid schedule (approximately 3 days onsite)
