CAREERS AT ONEFOURTWO
Built for people who want to do the work, not wait.
You'll work on real projects with real clients from day one - designers and engineers, side by side, shaping outcomes together.
A culture that gets you involved in work early with support
This isn't a firm where you wait years to matter. You're part of real projects from day one, backed by mentorship that gives you the confidence to shape the work - not just observe it.
Design here is collaborative from the start, so early-career practitioners contribute ideas to real projects instead of producing background work for someone else's decisions. In an internal survey, our team named the responsibility they had from day one as their biggest positive surprise of joining us.
You'll follow projects from concept through completion, learning how buildings actually come together - not just how they're drawn. Licensed leadership signs the drawings, but the decisions that shape what gets built come from the whole team.
Mentorship here is structured, not accidental. Senior practitioners invest real time reviewing your work and walking through the reasoning behind design decisions, so you're learning the "why," not just the "what."
Growth is the top reason people join us — the majority of our team cited it as their primary reason for coming to OneFourTwo. Advancement tracks with the firm's dedicated career pathing initiative. OneFourTwo's leadership team is dedicated to offering associates to grow their careers based on their strengths and interests.
We're licensed in over forty states, working across industrial, commercial, mission critical, life sciences, and institutional sectors — and actively expanding further. Eight studios give you mobility and exposure across markets and project types, not just one narrow lane.
The people are the biggest reason our team stays — many cite day-to-day colleagues as their primary reason for staying. Design reviews here are collective problem-solving, not top-down critique, and collaboration regularly crosses studio lines.
Design that's collaborative, not top-down
Design here isn't handed down from the top. Designers and engineers work through every decision together, and that collaboration doesn't stop at the studio door - project teams regularly span multiple offices instead of staying siloed. People invest real time in each other's growth, because that's the expectation here, not the exception.
Start your career without asterisk.
In a world where promises often come with exceptions, limitations, and fine print, we believe great design should not. We approach every challenge with a commitment to delivering the best possible outcome, not the easiest one. No shortcuts. No hidden surprises. No asterisk.
