Careers

Join Our Team

Our values breathe life into our mission. Our work is more than just pretty designs or poetic words on a page - it's an embodiment of our beliefs, drives why we create, how we show up, and who we hire.

Believer

We are passionate about our people, our company, our clients, and our success. We are called to a purpose and mission to improve lives through design. We live this out through our work, our relationships, and our interactions daily.

Achiever

We achieve our goals without compromising on quality. We deliver results and seek opportunities to improve our craft, to be the best at what we do, and to help others do the same.

Contributor

We give more than we take – in our relationships and in our work. Our journey is about service to others and to inspiration, curiosity, and innovation.

Learner

We learn something new every day and instill others with our knowledge and expertise. We apply our lessons learned, find solutions, and use our experiences to make us, our designs, and our processes better.

Partner

Together we work hard, celebrate our successes, and take the initiative to support each other and our clients. We know that success is not the product of one individual, but of a collaborative team working together towards a mutual vision.

Design with a Heartbeat

We are staunch believers in the transformative power of design and its ability to shape experiences, evoke emotions, and enhance the quality of life. In every design, we create spaces that resonate with the pulse of humanity.

Building Beyond Structures

Our process of design extends far beyond the physical structures we create; it encompasses a holistic commitment to relationships, trustworthiness, accountability, and lasting impact on the future.

Elevating Horizons

Our journey is about service to others – elevating horizons with a growth mindset that shapes skylines and exists in our dedication to mentoring the next generation.

Forged in Tenacity

We work hard and celebrate successes – fueled by a spirit that never backs down. Being forged in tenacity means that we are steadfast in our commitment to the success of our clients.

Dream It, Do It

You dream it, and we design it. As committed doers, we turn your vision into reality. Our philosophy rejects a one-size-fits-all mentality; instead, we embark on a journey of discovery, immersing ourselves in what makes you tick.

We measure ourselves by who our people become.

We don’t hire because a position opens up. We hire because we meet someone who will make CDH stronger.

That takes patience. Every person who joins us shapes our culture and our work for years, so we’d rather wait for the right architect, designer, or project leader than fill a seat quickly. It also means we’re never really “not hiring.” We’re always meeting people.

 

These are the roles we’re actively recruiting for right now. If you don’t see your title here, keep going. It doesn’t mean we aren’t looking for you.
