Our projects range from historic rehabilitation and adaptive reuse to new construction in historic contexts, throughout Mississippi and the Southeast.

Our ideal candidate is an individual who values/shares our passion for service, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse; is highly motivated; is a strong leader; technically proficient; and organized. You are also someone who:

• Has strong architectural design, documentation, project management and technical skills
• Enjoys figuring out how historic buildings work and how they can serve new purposes
• Has experience with renovation, rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, or work in historic districts
• Can move comfortably between field investigation, documentation, design, and construction administration
• Enjoys research and learning the stories behind the buildings
• Wants increasing responsibility for projects, clients, consultants, and contractors
• Is curious, collaborative, resourceful, and willing to get into the details

Preservation experience is welcome—but it isn’t everything.

We’re seeking a great architect who aspires to become an exceptional preservation architect. BSA offers opportunities to develop deep expertise in preservation, such as:

Historic Building Investigation • Rehabilitation and Adaptive Reuse • National Register & Tax Credit Projects • Traditional Building Materials • Existing-Building Assessment • Preservation Planning • Community-Based Design • Construction Administration.

We also embrace digital documentation and emerging technologies, including 3D scanning, as part of our work.

A chance to come home.

We especially welcome architects with Mississippi or small-town roots—including MSU graduates and professionals who have built their careers elsewhere. This position is located in our office in Eupora, Mississippi.

Why BSA?

BSA is a preservation-focused practice devoted to buildings and places that matter to their communities. Our architects are investigators, historians, designers, problem-solvers, advocates, and project leaders. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow into a key role in the firm, with opportunities to lead significant preservation and rehabilitation projects across Mississippi and the Southeast.
