We are a fast-moving team with exceptionally high design standards, and we regard precision in documentation as a creative discipline in its own right. THE POSITION We seek a Project Architect to join our Mexico City studio and lead end-to-end execution of our residential projects in the United States. This is not a design-support role — it is a leadership role in coordination and delivery.

You will be the person who ensures nothing is lost in translation — ever. WHAT YOU’LL DO – Develop and coordinate complete construction document sets (architectural, structural, MEP, civil, landscape) for luxury single-family residences in Miami-Dade – Manage relationships with consultants and maintain fully coordinated, up-to-date, and conflict-free drawing sets across disciplines – Track RFIs, submittals, ASIs, and design changes during construction – Prepare and maintain project schedules, drawing logs, and deliverable trackers for multiple concurrently active projects – Lead and participate in client meetings and design review calls in English — with clarity and professionalism – Coordinate with Florida-registered local architects for permit submissions and regulatory compliance – Review contractor shop drawings and coordinate with structural and MEP engineers on technical resolutions – Maintain SHST’s documentation standards using meticulous protocols for naming conventions, versioning, and file organization WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Required – Degree in Architecture (Bachelor’s or equivalent) – Advanced English — written and spoken.

You are frustrated when things fall out of sync. You read drawings as others read books — fluently, critically, and quickly. You don’t wait to be told what to do next; you see it already. You communicate with clarity and confidence — whether writing to a structural engineer, a client, or a contractor in Miami. You take pride in your work and want to be part of a studio building something meaningful. WHAT WE OFFER – Active involvement in high-profile luxury residential projects in one of the most demanding design markets in the U.S. – Direct, close collaboration with the firm’s lead architect – Exposure to the full project lifecycle — from schematic design through construction administration – A fast-paced, ambitious, aesthetics-driven studio culture that equally values craftsmanship and precision – Competitive compensation aligned with expertise and contribution HOW TO APPLY Send your CV, portfolio (PDF), and a brief note in English explaining which project you’re most proud of and why to: contact@shamoshstudio.com / eduardo@shamoshstudio.com Subject: Project Architect Application — [Your Name] Job Type: Full-time Pay: $18,000.00 - $30,000.00 per month Work Location: In person
