San Francisco

Foster + Partners, the award winning integrated design practice have excellent opportunities for talented Designers, with excellent Revit skills, to join our office in San Francisco. We believe the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise and inform the character of a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; the way you move through or around it; and last but not least its ability to lift the spirits.

Qualities and skills required:

• Legally able to work in the country in which the position is based
• Evidence of a good design understanding e.g. a good design portfolio
• Ability to use a variety of media in the development and documentation of a design project

• Self motivated and able to demonstrate initiative and a proactive approach to daily tasks and in response to direction or instruction
• Good interpersonal skills and able to work independently and as part of an effective team, assisting and supporting team members
