Following our previous look at an opening for a Graduate Intern at the Port of Seattle, we are using this week’s edition of our Job Highlights series to explore an open role on Archinect Jobs for a Project Manager at 3XN.
The role, based in New York City, calls for an individual who will “lead and coordinate projects through all phases, including schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration.” Among the requirements are a professional degree in architecture and a minimum of ten years of experience. High proficiency in Revit and Rhino is also requested.

The open role at 3XN offers us the opportunity to explore some of the major projects to emerge from the office. Earlier this year, we covered the firm’s completion of the largest fish market in the southern hemisphere, in Sydney, Australia. Arguably, the defining feature of the scheme is a 200,000-square-foot undulating roof canopy, constructed from glued laminated timber beams and aluminum cassettes integrated with photovoltaic panels.

Elsewhere, the firm recently revealed designs for the new University of Toronto Rotman Commerce Building. The structure’s design is guided by the principle that optimum learning is supported by flexibility, transparency, and interaction. As one moves through the building, the social levels shift, from the lower levels to the more private and quiet areas towards the top.

In South Korea, the firm has recently designed the new Chungnam Art Center featuring a sloping roof plane folded into its diagonal axis and then arched at points to define the different programmatic functions below. In Baltimore, meanwhile, the studio envisioned a new destination for the Inner Harbor, drawing inspiration from the sails dotting the city’s waterfront.

In 2023, 3XN’s ‘upcycled’ Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney was awarded the CTBUH Best Tall Building Worldwide, one year after winning the 2022 World Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival. The 46-story Sydney tower provides a remarkable example of adaptive reuse to the industry, having retained some 65% of the original 1976 structure and a reported 95% of its core in the construction process that was completed in April of 2022. The project also earned 3XN a place on Fast Company’s ‘world’s most innovative companies’ list.
