SCB is an award winning multi-disciplinary design firm with a national presence from offices in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle. We are looking to bring on board a BIM Specialist to join our San Francisco team.
SCB's San Francisco office, now 13 years young, has that distinctive California vibe.

Best of all, we still have the local flair of an architectural start-up, backed by a well-established ninety-year practice.
