Weinstein A+U is an award-winning firm based in Seattle, and the recipient of the 2019 AIA Northwest and Pacific Region Firm Award.

We are currently working in a hybrid mode, with a flexible choice of days in-office.
We are seeking an experienced, well-rounded Project Manager who is excited to join our team.
