Emerging Professionals
As part of the firm’s commitment to our employees’ paths to licensure and future goals, we have established the GH2 Emerging Professional Program and a GH2 Mentor Program. These programs are intended to provide our team with the tools necessary to achieve licensure while fostering mentorship and education opportunities within the organization. While the program is intended for Emerging Professionals, or individuals pursuing licensure, all employees are encouraged to take advantage of any or all opportunities the program creates. These programs are offered to all employees pursuing licensure, providing each individual with tools, mentorship, and educational opportunities to succeed.
All three GH2 offices — Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Phoenix — are accepting applications for both emerging professionals and student interns. Our headquarters is in the historic 320 S. Boston building in the heart of downtown Tulsa. Between Tulsa and our offices in Oklahoma City on Film Row and Phoenix’s East Valley, we have a national team of nearly 100 architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and professional support team members.
Full-Time
We are hiring recent graduates in architecture, interior design and landscape architecture who want to apply their education in the real-world.
What you’ll do: Emerging professionals at GH2 participate in a design-oriented practice with colleagues that celebrate exceptional work, client service, and engagement with their profession and community. They receive supplemental technical and professional education tailored to their interests and professional goals, and they have the opportunity to work on a variety of project types or focus on a single specialty area. Our landscape team executes site designs that provide our clients with comprehensive project solutions. Individuals with a passion for the integration of landscape with art, architecture, engineering, design, and development would be a great fit for this position. Our interiors team creates imaginative design solutions that best fit our clients’ needs and budgets. Designers work in all phases of projects from concept through documentation to include FF&E procurement, delivery management, and installation oversight.
Licensure
One of GH2’s longstanding traditions is our dedication to our team members who are working their way through the experience requirements for licensure. We believe that achieving licensure is of paramount importance, and GH2 has always provided our emerging professionals with support as well as the opportunity to work on a variety of project types and a wide range of professional practice activities. GH2 provides significant salary increases upon licensure. In addition, GH2 is recognized as an “Exemplary AXP Friendly Firm” by AIA Oklahoma.
Taking Care of our People
We encourage every person at GH2 to dedicate themselves professionally while leading a healthy and balanced life. This includes a flexible work schedule and the ability to work remotely. Our comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, vision, disability, HSA and flex spending, paid holidays, and paid time off. We also offer a 401k and twice-annual bonus opportunities. In addition, collaboration inside and outside the office is an integral part of how we work and who we are. We accomplish more as a team than we can individually. Everyone’s unique voice matters because it brings a balance and elevates the quality of our design. People do their best when they are happy, appreciated and valued.
We have three words we live by: Design. Service. Solutions.
They stand for ideas that drive us to constantly innovate while creating award-winning designs for our clients whether their projects are large or small. Innovation is the reason we have received more than 100 industry and design awards, including the Firm of the Year Award for both Central Oklahoma and Eastern Oklahoma Chapters of the American Institute of Architects. These awards honor an architectural firm that sets itself apart through community involvement promoting architecture through leadership, vision and design. We have a portfolio that represents thousands of projects across more than 15 different practice areas. Our clients range from individuals to public entities to international corporations. We also have dedicated specialty practice areas in hospitality, equine and historic preservation architecture, recognized nationally and internationally for their achievements. GH2 has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies and for four consecutive years, Interior Design Magazine, has recognized GH2’s interiors department on its Rising Giants list.
