About Hamann Construction

Hamann Construction is a San Diego-based commercial and industrial contractor/developer with over 50 years of experience delivering high-quality projects throughout Southern California. We are driven by a heart to serve our clients including non-profit organizations, churches, schools, and community-focused businesses alongside corporate and industrial accounts. Our team is built on long-term relationships, accountability, and craftsmanship. A large proportion of our work is Design-Build or Design-Assist. We use Autodesk Construction Cloud and MS365 across our project teams. Our in-house architect is primarily CAD based, but we are interested in moving into a BIM environment if the market justifies it.

The Opportunity

Hamann Construction is seeking a licensed Director of Architecture to lead our architectural function and serve as a key partner across preconstruction and construction operations. This role is ideal for a mid-career architect with strong commercial and tilt-up construction experience who thrives in a collaborative, client-facing environment.

You will work closely with ownership and project management teams to coordinate with our preferred outside architectural firms, manage the design and permitting process, and serve as the architectural voice of Hamann with clients and government agencies. You will oversee two direct reports — a Land Development Permit Technician and an Architect in Training — and play a visible role in representing Hamann's quality and values on every project.

Key Responsibilities

Preconstruction & Design Coordination

● Design and manage in-house production of complete drawings for smaller Tenant Improvement Projects.

● Serve as a primary client-facing architectural representative — attending meetings, presenting design concepts verbally and graphically, and building trusted relationships.

● Coordinate the project team including clients, consultants, subcontractors, and government agencies to deliver projects on time and within budget.

● Support construction teams with RFIs, finish selections, design changes, and architectural questions during the construction phase.

● The ability to create "Sketch-up" style elevations (or better) in some circumstances would be considered a plus.

Leadership & Operations

● Directly manage two team members: a Land Development Permit Technician and an Architect in Training.

● Maintain Hamann's architectural standards, drawing quality, and documentation practices for in-house projects.

● Collaborate with the COO and project management team on workload planning and project priorities.

Qualification/Candidate Requirements:

Required

● Licensed Architect — California.

● 8–10+ years of experience in commercial architecture with a strong background in concrete tilt-up construction.

● Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit — hands-on production capability required.

● Demonstrated experience managing outside design consultants on multiple projects and coordinating multi-discipline project teams.

● Strong client / team communication skills — comfortable presenting design concepts and managing client expectations.

● Familiarity with Southern California code, the permitting process, and working with local jurisdictions.

Preferred

● Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud.

● Background in industrial, warehouse, office, or institutional project types.

● Prior experience managing direct reports or junior staff.

Firm Size: Small

Salary Range:

● Base salary: $105,000–$135,000

● Annual performance bonus: TBD% of base, tied to company profitability

● Benefits: Health and dental insurance, 401(k), paid time off
