Interested in making your mark at a 100% employee-owned architecture and engineering firm? Wiley|Wilson is home to more than 180 employee-owners across five offices, and we are looking for the right person to grow with us.

We are seeking a Technology Systems Project Designer to join our team in Richmond, VA. In this role, you will design telecommunications networks, structured cabling, audio/visual systems, and electronic security systems for a variety of vertical building projects. You will work closely with senior Technology Systems staff and multidisciplinary project teams to deliver high-quality designs while continuing to build your technical expertise.

The right candidate will bring strong technical skills along with good time management, communication, and organization. We are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a collaborative design team and takes a proactive approach to learning and problem solving.

Wiley|Wilson offers a competitive salary along with employee ownership through our ESOP and work-from-home flexibility, with details provided upon inquiry. Our benefits package includes multiple group health insurance options, a 401(k) with up to a 6% matching contribution, 24 days of paid time off, five paid holidays per year, tuition reimbursement, and other benefits.

We also place a strong emphasis on work-life balance and professional growth, with benefits including 80 hours of parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child, a hybrid work schedule, and accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

What We're Looking For

Candidates should have 3-7 years of experience designing telecommunications networks, structured cabling systems, audio/visual systems, and electronic security systems for vertical building projects.
