  • Adobe and Microsoft Software Familiarity (Required) - A decent understanding of Photoshop, Excel, Word, etc. is needed.
  • 3D Modeling (Preferred) - Our standard in office is currently Rhino. Revit, AutoCAD, or other 3d modeling software is also okay, but proficiency is required.

  • Communication Skills (Required) - You will frequently be communicating to clients and vendors through email, calls, and in person meetings. As such, strong communication skills are a must.
  • Sustainability (Plus) - LEED Certification and/or knowledge of sustainable technologies and practices relating to everything from material sciences and thermal properties is a great plus, as GCA prides itself on sustainable practices.
  • Collaborative Skills (Required) - GCA is a small firm, but still fosters a cooperative environment whether that's through working with co-workers or even contractors and suppliers.
  • Workplace Experience (Required) - We require some level of work experience for this role. You will be expected to eventually pick up and run jobs independently or with minimal supervision.
