ARCHITECT (R25)

State agencies that design and build — Treasury, Transportation, Corrections, the college system — employ architects to prepare drawings, review consultants' work, and check that what gets built meets code and the programme it was funded for.

Practice requires licensure by the New Jersey State Board of Architects. That licence carries the professional qualification, and the Commission publishes no specification at this code.
