Staff Insights

“What are the benefits of starting your career at SRBL straight out of school?”

Ryan: "For me it was an easy choice since SRBL’s core values align so well with my own personal values.  By starting at SRBL, I have had the opportunity to work on and gain experience with multiple projects in our specialty areas.  Starting as a Staff Designer and working my way up to Project Manager and now to Associate/Production Manager has allowed for me to gain a firm grasp on projects and the office operations from all perspectives, enabling me deliver a better product to our clients and run office production more efficiently and effectively.”

 

“What surprised you when you came to work at SRBL?”

Jamie: “I was surprised at how open the office was. Offices do not have doors, partition walls are low enough to easily communicate throughout the office. Communication within our workspaces is encouraged.”

 

“What makes SRBL different than your work experience with other architectural firms?”

Krista:   “SRBL is different than other firms because we are always trying to better ourselves.  In design, quality control, communication, technology, etc. We are always striving to improve ourselves, our buildings, and our firm.”
