Architect Jobs in Frankfort, IL

An Architect plays a crucial role in the construction industry, translating the client's vision into blueprints that engineers and construction workers use to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing building. They are responsible for meeting with clients to gather project requirements, creating detailed building plans, and overseeing the project's execution to ensure it adheres to the design. Architects also ensure that the building meets all applicable safety and building codes. They collaborate with a range of professionals including engineers, landscape architects, urban planners, and construction representatives to complete the project successfully.

To become an Architect, one must have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, but many also pursue a Master's degree. They should possess strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, as well as be proficient in relevant software such as AutoCAD. Certification by regulatory bodies like the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is also essential. Prior to becoming architects, individuals may start their careers as Architectural Drafters, Architectural Technicians, or Architectural Interns to gain practical experience in the field.
