  • Direct and mentor project teams in producing comprehensive multi-disciplinary drawing packages across all design phases, aligned with both ICON's architectural standards and MILCON requirements.
  • Develop detailed construction documents and specifications, including anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) elements, building envelope details, and durable wall assemblies.
  • Collaborate with engineers, consultants, and contractors to ensure seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, communications, and security systems into 3D-printed and hybrid building types.
  • Review consultant and subcontractor deliverables to ensure compatibility with 3D-printed systems and compliance with federal/military design standards.
  • Participate in R&D efforts for applying ICON's technology to future-forward MILCON projects, including rapid-deployable housing and resilient infrastructure.


MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Professional degree in Architecture from an accredited institution.
  • Proven track record leading projects through all phases: schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration.
  • Demonstrated expertise with DoD standards, UFC/IBC codes, AT/FP guidelines, ADA, and sustainability requirements.
  • Strong Construction Administration background, including RFls, submittals, punch lists, and coordination with military/federal stakeholders.
  • Licensed Architect (U.S. jurisdiction).
  • Proficiency in Revit, Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office.
  • Exceptional organizational, communication, and leadership skills; ability to navigate complex multi-disciplinary teams and government processes.

 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience with design-build delivery in federal and MILCON projects.
  • Familiarity with resilient design, energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices within DoD and GSA frameworks.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
