Architecture jobs in Denver

Denver’s architecture market combines established national firms (Ware Malcomb, HNTB, Farnsworth Group), boutique local design studios, and multidisciplinary engineering practices with integrated architecture teams. The city’s architecture industry serves commercial, hospitality, healthcare, institutional, multifamily, and specialty project types across the Denver metro and broader Colorado.

Architecture roles in Denver on AECjobs.co run across the full career spectrum: designers and project architects ($85k–$130k), senior architects and project managers ($130k–$180k), and directors and principals ($140k–$250k+). Licensed architects with Denver portfolio or Colorado licensure are consistently in demand, especially at the project architect and director levels.
