Job Outlook for Architect
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchArchitects plan and design houses, factories, office buildings, and other structures. Their duties may include meeting with clients, preparing structure specifications, preparing cost estimates, managing construction contracts and visiting worksites. Job growth is limited. While a growing population will result in the need for infrastructure, automated building information modeling (BIM) will reduce demand. A bachelor’s degree in architecture is expected, though a master’s level degree can increase the competitiveness of an applicant’s package. Many firms expect internship or co-op work experience.

Student and intern positions are ideal if you're still studying architecture. Assistant architect opportunities may also help you gain valuable work experience. Recently completed your degree? Look at graduate, entry level, or junior vacancies. If you're well-established in your career as an architect, search for higher-level roles such as senior, lead, and head architect jobs.
If you enjoy being at the heart of building activity, look for site architect positions. On the other hand, if you like greater flexibility with your working day, how about remote roles? Prefer working independently? Freelance opportunities could be a perfect match.
