Join our diverse team of architects and designers.
At PZS Architects, we’re always looking for people with energy, passion, drive, and talent — individuals who bring real curiosity to their work and to their lives outside of it. We work across higher education, K-12 education, mixed-use & housing, healthcare, veterinarian, civic, and commercial retail projects. We’re looking for candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture or a related field, plus at least one year of professional experience.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including paid time off, health insurance, and a 401k.
PZS Architects is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. We strongly value diversity and inclusivity in our workplace.
Employer Brand Overview
At PZS Architects, we foster a culture of diversity, innovation, and community involvement, and we back it up with real investment in our people. Professional growth here isn’t an afterthought, it’s built into how the firm operates. Junior staff are paired with senior architects and principals for mentorship and hands-on training, with exposure to every phase of a project rather than a narrow slice of it. We support staff pursuing licensure and advanced credentials, and we encourage involvement in professional leadership: several of our principals have served in AIA Pennsylvania and AIA Philadelphia leadership roles, and we want our team to do the same.
Our philosophy extends beyond design aesthetics. We believe the best spaces enhance human wellbeing, and that belief shows up in how we work with nonprofit clients and engage in community initiatives. It also shows up in how our team shows up for each other: PZS architects bring the same curiosity and care to their own lives that they bring to design, whether that’s hunting for finds at flea markets, restoring century-old farmhouses, or tailgating at the Linc on Sundays. That range of interests outside the studio shapes how our team collaborates inside it.
Hiring Expectations
- Find real energy in building on each other’s ideas, collaboration is where the best work comes from.
- Treat sustainability as part of good design, not an afterthought.
- Care deeply about the details, because the small decisions add up to great architecture.
- Bring integrity and professionalism to a team that draws its strength from different perspectives and backgrounds.
At PZS, we believe the best designs are born through the collective efforts of talented, diverse individuals working together toward a common goal. That’s why we prioritize mentorship, professional growth, and staying current with the technology that shapes how we design and build.
