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 four GH2 offices — Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Phoenix and Denver — are accepting applications for both emerging professionals and student interns to join our team of over 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
At GH2, we take pride in supporting our team members on the path to licensure, a longstanding tradition at the firm. We believe licensure is essential, and we offer our emerging professionals the guidance, experience, and project diversity needed to succeed. GH2 also provides substantial salary increases upon licensure and is honored to be recognized as an “Exemplary AXP Friendly Firm” by AIA Oklahoma.
Taking Care of our People
At GH2, we encourage every team member to pursue professional excellence while maintaining a healthy, balanced life. We offer flexible work schedules and remote work options to support well-being and productivity.
Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, disability coverage, HSA and flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, and paid time off. We also provide a 401(k) plan and offer bonus opportunities twice a year.
Collaboration both in and out of the office is central to our culture. We believe we achieve more together than we ever could alone. Every voice matters, and the diversity of perspectives strengthens our work. When people feel valued and supported, they do their best and that’s when great design happens.
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 120 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 six consecutive years, Interior Design Magazine has recognized GH2’s interiors department on its Rising Giants list.
