Salary: $90K–$130K annually (commensurate with experience)
Location: Lake Forest, Southern California
Type: Full-Time
Why This Role
KSP Studio is growing — and we're looking for a Senior Project Manager who wants more than just another job managing paperwork. You'll lead architectural projects from concept through construction, build lasting client relationships, and mentor a talented team, all while working with a firm that's expanding its national footprint.

What You'll Own
• Guide projects from Schematic Design through Construction Documents and Permitting — across multiple projects at once
• Be the go-to expert on code analysis, CBC, and jurisdictional requirements
• Lead and coordinate internal staff and outside consultants to keep every project on track
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients — proactively solving problems before they become issues
• Shape how we deliver projects by contributing to internal design and technical knowledge-sharing
What You Bring
• 10+ years of architectural experience, including 5+ years in a senior or leadership role
• Hands-on experience managing full project delivery — design through permitting
• Strong command of CBC, IBC, and LEED standards, and Type I, II, and III construction
• Proven ability to keep complex projects on schedule and within scope
• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD; familiarity with project management/scheduling tools is a plus
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture
• California-licensed Architect strongly preferred; LEED accreditation a plus
What You'll Get
• Competitive salary ($90K–$130K, based on experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• A collaborative, design-driven culture that values leadership and initiative
• Real opportunity for growth as we expand our work with national clients
• A team that will actually let you lead — not just manage a checklist
