About TCF Architecture
TCF Architecture is a Tacoma, Washington–based architecture and design firm with over 60 years of experience serving clients throughout Washington State and the Pacific Northwest. We are a full-service architecture, planning, and interiors practice focused on improving communities by enhancing how people work, learn, play, and live.
Our work spans civic, community, education, and commercial projects and is grounded in collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and respect for the communities we serve.
Are you energized by building clarity, structure, and systems within a growing design practice? Do you enjoy diving into technical details, organizing information, and helping multidisciplinary teams deliver high-quality work?
TCF Architecture is seeking an Architectural Technical Specifications Writer to support our expanding project portfolio. If you’re experienced in writing architectural specifications — or you’re an emerging architect with a strong technical foundation and a passion for improving workflows — we’d love to meet you.
What You Can Expect
• A collaborative, supportive team culture where people stay, grow, and feel valued
• A strong pipeline of meaningful, community-focused projects
• A firm that is stable yet small enough for your contributions to make an impact
• Flexibility to shape systems, tools, and processes across the office
• Leadership that invests in professional development
• The opportunity to build or elevate a specifications practice
This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical design, organization, communication, and problem-solving.
Key Responsibilities
• Develop, write, and maintain architectural specifications across multiple building types
• Coordinate with architects, designers, and consultants to align drawings and specifications
• Support office standards, templates, and quality control systems
• Track code updates, material changes, and industry best practices
• Build reusable spec content and improve internal workflows
• Participate in project meetings and contribute to technical deliverables
Qualifications
• 5+ years of architectural experience with exposure to construction documents or technical coordination
• Experience producing specifications (or strong interest and aptitude for learning)
• Familiarity with CSI formats, MasterSpec, or SpecLink preferred
• Solid understanding of building materials, systems, and assemblies
• Strong communication and coordination skills
• Highly organized with an interest in systems and process improvement
• Detail-oriented, curious, and able to work independently across multiple projects
If you don’t meet every qualification, we still encourage you to apply — aptitude and enthusiasm matter.
The Ideal Candidate
• Clear communicator and collaborative team member
• Organized, methodical, and detail-driven
• Enjoys continuous learning and staying current on industry standards
• Comfortable working independently and asking questions
Compensation & Benefits
• $110,000–$150,000 base salary DOE
• Annual performance-based bonus
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
