A Small Firm. Big Impact on the Central Coast.

Omni Design is a generalist architecture, engineering adn land survey firm rooted in San Luis Obispo County. We design commercial, civic, and municipal projects that directly improve the communities where our clients live and work — from Paso Robles and Atascadero to Santa Maria and everywhere in between.
We’re a small, close-knit team. That means you get real responsibility, real variety, and a real voice in the work — not a siloed role in a large bureaucracy. When you join Omni Design, you’re joining a team that cares deeply about craft, community, and each other.

T H E    O P P O R T U N I T Y
We're looking for an early-career architectural professional who is ready to learn fast, contribute immediately, and grow into a confident, well-rounded designer over time.

This is a Level I → Level II growth path role. You'll start by building your production and coordination skills, working side by side with licensed architects and engineers on real projects. As you grow, you'll take on more ownership — leading drawing sets, coordinating consultants, and serving as a key player on your project teams.

You'll work directly with the Principal Architect and senior staff on commercial, civic, and municipal projects across San Luis Obispo County. No two weeks are the same. No siloed assembly-line tasks. You'll see how architecture actually gets built.

• Attention to detail and accuracy in drawing production
• Strong communication skills — you ask when you're unsure, you follow through, and you meet deadlines
• Must be authorized to work in the United States
• Must be available to work in-office in San Luis Obispo County

Preferred (Not Required)
