What is a Solutions Architect at Perkins & Will?
At Perkins & Will, a Solutions Architect occupies a highly strategic and collaborative space. This role bridges the gap between complex digital design technology and physical architectural execution. Unlike traditional software environments, a Solutions Architect in an elite design firm ensures that advanced building information modeling (BIM), computational design tools, and technical workflows operate seamlessly to bring ambitious, sustainable physical structures to life. You will be responsible for defining, optimizing, and scaling the digital frameworks that enable design teams to deliver landmark projects worldwide.
Your work directly impacts the efficiency of multidisciplinary project teams, the integrity of complex spatial data, and the firm’s ability to innovate. Whether you are streamlining Revit workflows, integrating parametric design tools, or solving complex geometric challenges, your technical leadership ensures that design intent translates perfectly into constructible reality. This role is critical to maintaining Perkins & Will’s reputation for cutting-edge design, environmental stewardship, and technical excellence across healthcare, higher education, and civic sectors.
To succeed, you must possess a rare blend of deep technical mastery, architectural insight, and exceptional communication skills. You will not work in a silo; instead, you will collaborate directly with Design Directors, Project Architects, and technology leaders. It is an inspiring, fast-paced role where your systems-level thinking empowers hundreds of designers to push the boundaries of what is possible in the built environment.
