“

I have always understood that the art and science of architecture is incredibly complex. But I never realized the full spectrum of what goes into putting a building together until I started working at Ryan. This company has exposed me to disciplines that an architect in a traditional firm never gets to see, such as land development, capital markets and strategic planning, and this has been incredibly educational and rewarding. I am proud to see the growth of our design talent and excited about the endless career opportunities that Ryan has to offer.”

Full-service company; full-scale opportunities As the design studio of Ryan Companies, a national leader in commercial real estate, Ryan’s Architecture and Engineering (A+E) team takes a comprehensive approach to design,

conceptual design through completion and beyond. We don’t just design seeing projects from

buildings, we create, develop, build and maintain the spaces where people thrive. And it’s this holistic

view of a

building, its lifecycle, our clients and the surrounding community that drives us to design

differently.

Working at Ryan A+E offers opportunities unrivaled by independent design firms. Ryan A+E is a national firm with opportunities in Ryan locations across the country and offers a comprehensive set of career paths designed to support the special interests and passions of our team, including architectural design, interior design, civil engineering and landscape design. Junior designers gain real-world experience

bringing projects to life

in their

role as a design advocate on an integrated, collaborative team. Senior experts find

new opportunities for

leadership , creative vision and broad project impact.

Ryan A+E’s integrated design process, which provides exposure across all facets of the commercial real estate process, opens designers up to the full lifecycle of a building or development. You become a well-rounded designer because you’re thinking beyond the architectural implication, talking directly with the stakeholders and understanding the role of design in the bigger picture.

Working with our

developers, we consider long-term

repositioning strategies, marketing position and ROI.

We work in lockstep with our

construction partners

to anticipate cost and construction efficiencies early to guarantee we’re syncing with the project budget.

We review all designs with our

property management

teams to make sure we’ve done all we can to minimize operating expenses.

As a result, we design buildings that focus on total project success not simply design success—allowing us to enhance value while enhancing the design. Access to robust building and construction technology, and the backing of our internal Insights & Innovation Team empower employees to find new solutions to design challenges.

At Ryan our team is specifically involved in land development civil engineering.

We deal with everything from front end pursuits and due diligence, to full construction documentation and administration work of site designs. I enjoy being a part of a bigger team, learning from others and building on past projects together. Since we have development, construction, architecture, landscape architecture and civil engineering in house, we often all work together early on to determine the best fit for our land development projects.”

workplace that values the unique contributions each of us bring.

The employee experience at Ryan A+E reflects and builds on these core values.

INTEGRITY

By aligning tightly across service lines, we’re able to produce work with an unparalleled level of integrity. Each group knows how the design will interact with their commitment to the project to ensure overall project success.

RESPECT

Our collaborative approach and our inclusion of all members of the team in the design process respects the talents and contributions of each team member. We embrace the variety of perspectives and diversity of background and experience that each team member brings to the work.

STEWARDSHIP

Stewardship is a deeply held company value and one we reinforce through paid time off for volunteering, charitable contribution matching, opportunities to give back throughout the year and a commitment to bringing lasting value to the communities in which we work.

FAMILY

We take our work seriously, but at Ryan, family is first. We prioritize work-life balance, accommodate flexible work arrangements and have recently enhanced our parental leave policy.

EXCELLENCE

Working at Ryan A+E is an opportunity to bring excellence to design and be a part of shaping future spaces and communities. Events like Intern Integration Day instill our commitment to the highest level of work and collaboration.

FUN At Ryan, we believe in working hard, but also having a good time. We make time to celebrate our wins, connect with coworkers and keep the environment vibrant, engaging and fun.

SAFETY

Safety is a key company focus and one we take seriously. As much of our work happens outside of the studio, ensuring the safety of employees, field staff and end users is our highest priority.

“

Virtual Reality is a very exciting tool for our industry—Ryan has really embraced this technology and we have committed our team to the research and development of VR in all sectors. From conception to delivery, whether it be massing a new form for a pursuit or catching a clash in Construction Administration, each stage has a place for VR. Creating immersive environments using VR has been remarkably beneficial to the design and very fun for our clients as they see their space come to life. As designers, it’s in our nature to want to walk around our projects and realize our projects; VR helps you embrace your work and better understand your design.”

How we learn and grow Ryan A+E fosters an innovative

learning environment led

by a team of experts with deep sector understanding across industrial, healthcare, senior living, multifamily and corporate spaces. We offer a variety of opportunities for professional

and personal

development including project tours, cross-departmental

education and exposure, and constant interaction and feedback

from experts across the entire real estate industry. Education,

professional development and mentorship are key pillars of the employee experience.

Our travel

program, for example, takes team members beyond

the walls of the studio and into the world where they gain inspiration from and exposure to different cultures and environments. This deep study brings new perspective to their work and allows them to share the

“

results of their research with their peers for the benefit of all.

Professional and personal growth is not only a priority for me, but also Ryan A+E. The opportunity to work on a variety of project types during all phases has been pivotal in my architectural education. The experience I’ve gained at Ryan A+E is an invaluable launching pad for the rest of my career.”

allowing us to enhance value while enhancing the design.

Our team blends a traditional design approach with a unique collaborative energy. Our first step in the design process is to always understand the goals and vision of the client and once defined, we guide project stakeholders through a series of key exercises to explore and evaluate design opportunities. From bubble diagrams to highlight adjacencies and interior visioning sessions to full-scale mock-ups, our teams develop creative solutions to help the project stakeholders better visualize and experience the design solution before it’s ever built. In the end, our collaborative and immersive design approach results in more innovation and happy clients and project teams.”
