MAK Design + Build - Searching for a Talented Project Designer

Are you the right person to fit our team? Are we the right team for you? Are you interested in seeing your designs come to life while being an integral part of the entire process?

MAK Design + Build, a full-service residential design & build construction company in Davis, California, is seeking a highly skilled Lead Project Designer to join our dynamic team. Do you have a sense of humor and a willingness to learn? Are you a talented individual with proven self-management skills and a commitment to quality? If yes, this role might be perfect for you!

The Project Designer (PD) is primarily responsible for providing award-winning designs and direct project management throughout the design process. MAK’s remodeling projects range from full bathroom projects to whole house remodels and construction. The PD must understand MAK’s unique design and build process and take projects from concept to completion. The PD is responsible for producing drawings as part of finding creative and effective solutions to complex residential remodeling problems. In addition, the PD is responsible for understanding the homeowners’ project goals, proposing effective design solutions, tracking the project estimate, communicating budget updates to clients, and efficiently organizing MAK resources throughout the design process.

Responsibilities:

  • Meet with homeowners to understand their goals for the project and unique needs, lead clients through the entire design process with expert knowledge and empathy
  • Develop conceptual design solutions and refine them through computer modeling (our team uses Vectorworks)
  • Collaborate with the Production Manager and Trade partners on budget solutions and communicate budget updates to clients at each design meeting
  • Manage the selection process with clients for fixtures and finishes
  • Communicate with subcontractors and vendors to gather information on trade-specific design details, scope of work specifications and cost estimates for each project
  • Develop permit-ready construction drawings and prepare final construction contract documents before transitioning clients from design to construction
  • Support production staff members throughout the construction phase of each or your projects as needed

Desired Traits / Skills:

  • Strong project management and organizational skills
  • Ability to work well under pressure and manage multiple projects
  • Excellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills

Qualifications:

  • Minimum 3-5 years of residential construction design experience
  • Proficiency in BIM software with demonstrated space planning skills
  • Strong construction assembly and detailing knowledge
  • Ability to draw detailed plan sets and write project specification documents that clearly articulate the project details to the construction staff members in the field.
  • Proficient in graphic presentation and computer skills

We offer competitive benefits and compensation packages, including paid time off, health insurance, 401k matching, profit-sharing, and mileage reimbursement. This is a full-time position with flexible remote options. If you are excited about this opportunity and possess the required qualifications, we encourage you to apply!

Location: Our office is located in downtown Davis, California and all of our projects are within a 45 minute drive from the office.

MAK is a full-service residential design & build construction company located in Davis, California. Although different from what many homeowners are used to, our design and build method is more efficient than the traditional model of home remodeling.
