Senior Design Coordinator

POSITION SUMMARY

Avery Hall is looking for professionals from architecture, design, and development backgrounds who are passionate about their craft, drawn to working within a design-oriented development office, and want to apply their specialized skills while gaining exposure to every stage of the building process.

The Senior Design Coordinator

owns design intent across Avery Hall’s mixed-use and multifamily projects, reporting to the Vice President of Development, the Director of Construction, and senior leadership. The role is engaged from conceptual design through occupancy, spanning the entire building process, but is weighted heavily toward construction administration. Once a project breaks ground, the majority of the position is spent executing on design decisions, taking part in every aspect of construction and execution required to see them fully realized.

Early in a project, this means shaping massing, unit mix, and façade and material direction alongside the design team. Once construction begins, core responsibilities shift to reviewing and resolving RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, mock-ups, and field sketches; running weekly site walks to verify design execution and finish quality; and working directly with construction and development leadership to resolve field conflicts, sequencing issues, and material substitutions without compromising the design vision. The role also coordinates architects, interior designers, and specialty consultants to keep construction documents execution-ready, and supports punch list, model unit execution, and final turnover through closeout.

This is a hands-on role with direct project ownership and oversight. It requires regular on-site presence at active construction sites as well as in-office time at Avery Hall’s headquarters in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
