Multidisciplinary design firm spanning architecture, interiors, urban planning, and landscape
Perkins&Will operates a large, geographically distributed design practice built around Revit, BIM 360, and Adobe Creative Cloud—a stack reflective of both traditional architectural workflows and emerging visualization tools (Enscape, Lumion, V-Ray). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward design roles (184 of 248 active), with smaller pockets of engineering, healthcare, and marketing talent, suggesting a core business anchored in project delivery rather than software or platform expansion. Active projects center on schematic design, site analysis, and post-occupancy evaluation, while cited pain points cluster around schedule pressure, scope/budget management, and data collection inefficiency—typical constraints for service-delivery organizations scaling across 30 studios globally.
