Are you an experienced Architect who’s ready to step out of the private-sector grind and into a role where your work truly matters? The City of Champaign is hiring our first Architectural Project Manager—a trusted expert who will lead facility improvement projects, guide consultants, and shape the spaces our community relies on every day.

What You’ll Lead

• Capital + facility improvement projects from concept through completion
• Architectural consultants, vendors, and contractors
• Design reviews, budgets, schedules, and quality standards
• Collaborative problem-solving across departments and community partners

Who You Are

A licensed Architect (IL or transferable U.S. license) with 7–10+ years of experience in design, project delivery, and vendor management. You value integrity, follow-through, teamwork, and seeing results. You’re energized by meaningful work and real work-life balance.

Why This Role Stands Out

• $102,217–$116,370 DOQ + industry-leading benefits
• Predictable hours + genuine work-life balance
• A supportive, respectful team that values your expertise
• A diverse portfolio of impactful community projects
• A culture built on personal integrity, responsibility, teamwork, and service
