The posting

Are you a visionary Architect ready to elevate your career and leave a lasting impact? At ISG, we don’t just design buildings; we design experiences, communities, and legacies. Since 1973, ISG has been a trusted, multi-disciplinary, full-service architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design firm, proudly serving clients nationwide.

We believe great careers are built through ownership, opportunity, and the freedom to make an impact. As an employee owner and Senior Architect, you’ll have the autonomy to influence the direction of our architecture practice, grow meaningful client relationships, and build a team around a strong foundation of work already underway.

You’ll be both a design leader and business builder, trusted to identify opportunities, deepen existing partnerships, develop new relationships, and help determine where the team goes next. You’ll have the support of ISG’s multidisciplinary network, experienced leaders, and technical resources while having the independence to make your mark locally.

This is an opportunity to step beyond project delivery and own your career, your relationships, and the growth of the team around you. You’ll work alongside talented architects, designers, engineers, and project managers while mentoring the next generation and creating opportunities for others to grow with you. Here are a few recent projects:

  • The MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex Expansion
  • Le Mars Community School District New Elementary School
  • South Tama County Middle School Campus Renovation
  • Meskwaki Nation Recreation Center
  • Prairie Rock Trails Bike Park

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
