Bergmeyer Associates

 We are searching for a resourceful Project Manager based in Los Angeles with a positive, collaborative work style to lead projects for one of our largest national clients. This individual should be committed to supporting the growth of our partnership and seeing our projects from project feasibility assessment through design and construction.  

We define ourselves as a collaborative because this is the trait that lies at the heart of how we work… Collaboratively.

We are thinkers and doers.

We are visionary and grounded.

We are design-focused and results-oriented.

We don’t believe design happens in a vacuum, nor do we believe in big reveals.

We believe the best solutions are co-authored, and that design is an iterative process.

We like dialogue and debate, and we believe everyone has a voice because there are never any bad ideas.

We put the customers at the heart of everything we create, which means:

every design is created from a place of relentless curiosity

we dive deep to inhabit the personas of our end users

we pressure test our concepts against one metric above all others: have we exceeded expectations of those who experience the spaces we create?

We’re also champions for diversity as a design collaborative, drawing from all experience levels and cultural backgrounds within our team of “Bergies” – intentionally staffing project teams inclusively to represent the diverse perspectives of the world around us.

We tend to do our best work with those that feel the same way… Are you that somebody?
