Architect (Interdisciplinary) at United States Army Installation Management Command — Fort Campbell, KY

Positions titled Architect (Interdisciplinary) inside Army Installation Management Command sit within a garrison's Directorate of Public Works, and the work is closer to facilities program management than to the traditional image of an architect producing building designs from scratch. At Fort Campbell, this role acts as project or program manager for real-property construction, renovation, and improvement work across the installation — recommending which facilities projects get funded and scheduled, translating leadership priorities into design and construction plans, and tracking large facilities projects from concept through completion. Because the position is classified as interdisciplinary, the same posting can be filled by a licensed architect, a civil engineer, or another qualifying engineering discipline, and DPW hiring in practice weighs a state architecture or PE license as a strong plus for review authority over stamped design documents rather than as an absolute requirement at every grade. Fort Campbell is a large, active Army installation spanning the Kentucky-Tennessee border, and its facilities program is correspondingly large and continuous — barracks renovation, training facility upgrades, and infrastructure sustainment generate a steady pipeline of design and construction projects that keeps a DPW facilities office staffed year-round rather than tied to a single project's timeline. This differs from a typical private-sector architect role, which is usually tied to a specific client project with a defined start and end; a garrison facilities program manager instead owns a portfolio of installation-wide projects simultaneously, and the job leans more on program oversight, budget tracking, and coordination between the installation, higher headquarters, and outside architect-engineer contractors than on producing original design work at a drafting table.
