BIM took over, and a third of the job is permits, not pure design.
A building architect designs structures and shepherds them from concept through permits to construction. In Israel it is a licensed profession concentrated in firms and developer offices, and the day-to-day is as much regulatory as creative.
The biggest clusters are Tel Aviv, Center, Jerusalem, Hadera, Netanya, and 56% of listings sit outside Tel Aviv.
About 34% require experience and ~9% are openly junior. Statutory registration is assumed and rarely written; the work splits between design and the permit-and-licensing process. (A smaller role, so treat specifics as directional.)

Large planning firms and developer in-house roles pay above small studios; licence, project responsibility and a center location lift the range.
