Job Details

One year after accepting a Senior Project Architect position at Martinkovic Milford Architects, you look back and remark at the contribution you ve made to the firm and fellow staff members, and the sense of meaning and purpose you ve derived from your work.


  • You've been very impressed with how we stress personal and professional growth for each team member, and how we invest considerable time and resources into educating all staff members.
  • You've gotten great satisfaction from leading small, capable teams on several impressive restaurant projects. You ve leveraged your restaurant experience and considerable design and management talent to create successful projects for the client, team and firm.
  • You've exhibited your formidable communication, management and people skills by keeping projects energized and moving forward. You ve hit key milestones despite a few curveballs. In light of your performance, you ve made a raving fan of the client and helped build the firm to further solidify a long-term relationship with them.
  • You've been well supported up, down and across the team structure, and in turn you ve been a great source of support, education and mentorship to fellow team members.
  • After growing familiar with the firm, you took on two mentees and met with them every other week, reviewing progress towards their goals and coaching them to carve a constructive path forward.
  • You ve met with your mentor, a principal, four times, where you ve discussed your life and career goals, and your progress towards them.
  • You've set your own short, medium and long-term goals, and your first year of work at MMA has contributed significantly to these goals.
  • You'll have participated in 14 Level-Up educational sessions and led two, teaching fundamental philosophies and best practices applicable to everyday practice. This has helped fuel professional growth all-around.
  • You've participated in over 50 weekly firm-wide meetings, where we socialize, plan the work week ahead, and dedicate time for educational moments, new learnings and sharing project progress.
  • In addition to restaurant projects, you appreciate the variety of other commercial interior projects you ve led, from fast and fun retail tenant improvement projects to hospitality-forward healthcare spaces.
  • You still marvel at how well-stocked the Nespresso machine is, and at how Brian brews a killer dark roast coffee.
  • You've been impressed with how we are completely dedicated to the continual improvement of the firm, including how we operate, how we communicate with our clients and each other, and how we perform for the client, project and team.
