About the Role We are looking for an experienced and highly organized Residential Design Project Manager to manage residential projects through the design, entitlement, permitting, and approval process. This is not primarily a drafting or modeling position . Our team includes dedicated designers and production staff who prepare schematic designs, 3D models, construction drawings, and permit packages. The Design Project Manager is the person who owns and coordinates the entire design and permitting process . You will work closely with clients, internal designers and drafting teams, outside consultants, City Planning and Building Departments, plan checkers, Public Works departments, utility companies, and our construction team to move each project efficiently from initial design through permit issuance. The ideal candidate has previously worked on residential design projects and understands how all parts of a project come together. You should be comfortable reviewing architectural drawings, understanding zoning and building requirements, coordinating consultants, responding to plan-check comments, communicating with clients and city staff, and managing multiple projects and deadlines at the same time. Key Responsibilities - Manage residential projects from initial due diligence and schematic design through Planning and Building permit approval. - Develop and maintain the overall design and permitting schedule for each project. - Identify all required approvals, consultants, drawings, reports, applications, and permits early in the project to prevent delays later in the process. - Research zoning regulations, development standards, design guidelines, building requirements, and jurisdiction-specific permitting procedures. - Coordinate with internal schematic designers, architectural production/drafting teams, interior designers, landscape designers, and construction staff. - Coordinate outside consultants including structural engineers, civil engineers, surveyors, Title 24 consultants, arborists, geotechnical engineers, and other professionals as required. - Review architectural and consultant drawings for completeness, consistency, coordination, and compliance before submission. - Prepare and coordinate Planning, Building, Public Works, demolition, encroachment, utility, and other permit submissions as required by each jurisdiction. - Communicate directly with planners, plan checkers, building officials, Public Works staff, utility representatives, and other agencies. - Track permit reviews, comments, corrections, resubmittals, approvals, and outstanding items. - Coordinate responses to Planning and Building Department comments and make sure all responsible team members complete their portions on schedule. - Communicate project status, design decisions, permitting issues, and required actions clearly to clients and internal team members. - Manage multiple active residential projects simultaneously and maintain clear priorities, deadlines, and follow-up items. - Proactively identify potential schedule, permitting, design, or coordination problems before they delay the project. - Maintain organized project documentation, correspondence, permit records, consultant information, and approval history. - Support the transition from the design/permitting phase into construction once permits are issued. Qualifications - 3+ years of relevant professional experience in residential architecture, design, permitting, construction, engineering, planning, or a closely related field. - Experience working on residential projects through Planning and/or Building permit approval. - Strong understanding of architectural drawings and the residential design and construction process. - Ability to read, review, and mark up architectural and consultant drawings. - Strong project management and organizational skills. - Ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, consultants, and stakeholders without losing track of important details. - Strong research and problem-solving skills, particularly when working with zoning codes, design standards, permitting requirements, and unfamiliar jurisdictional requirements. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Comfortable communicating professionally with clients, architects, engineers, city staff, plan checkers, contractors, and other project participants. - Professional working proficiency in spoken Mandarin Chinese is required because this position works directly with Mandarin-speaking members of our design and production team. - Professional working proficiency in English is required for communication with clients, consultants, contractors, and local jurisdictions.

Your role is to understand the entire process and make sure all of those pieces come together correctly and on time.
