Important Candidate Requirements – Please Read Before Applying!
This position is specifically intended for candidates with substantial professional experience in architecture, architectural production, BIM management, and quality control within an architectural or multidisciplinary Architecture & Engineering environment.
Applicants must have:
- 7+ years of professional experience in architecture and architectural production for building projects
- 3–5 years of experience in BIM leadership, BIM management, BIM coordination, or a quality-focused role
- Advanced, hands-on experience with Autodesk Revit for architectural building design and construction documentation
- Demonstrated experience managing and reviewing architectural drawing packages through Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, permit, tender, and construction phases
- Experience developing and enforcing BIM standards, Revit templates, families, model protocols, and documentation standards
- Strong knowledge of architectural detailing, building construction documentation, constructability, interdisciplinary coordination, and the Ontario Building Code
- Experience working within an architectural practice or multidisciplinary Architecture & Engineering firm
Candidates whose BIM experience is primarily in manufacturing, automotive, mechanical fabrication, product design, industrial equipment, GIS, civil infrastructure, or other non-building-design environments will not meet the experience requirements for this position.
This is a senior architectural, BIM, and quality-management role, not an entry-level BIM Technician, Revit Modeler, CAD Technician, or general software administration position.
Position Overview
The Architect / Quality BIM Manager is a senior, hands-on role responsible for supporting architectural project delivery while leading the firm’s BIM strategy, quality assurance processes, Revit standards, and project information-management practices.
The successful candidate will oversee and improve architectural and multidisciplinary drawing production, ensuring consistency, coordination, constructability, code compliance, and technical quality across multiple projects.

- Review drawings for completeness, technical accuracy, coordination, constructability, detailing, and compliance with firm standards.
- Ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code, AODA, municipal submission requirements, and applicable regulations.
- Develop quality-control checklists and review procedures.
- Identify recurring documentation and coordination issues and implement corrective processes.
Support Project Architects and Project Managers in maintaining technical quality and consistency.

- Monitor model health, performance, audits, warnings, data integrity, and model quality.
- Troubleshoot complex Revit modeling, documentation, and coordination issues.
- Coordinate BIM workflows between architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and external consultants.
- Support clash detection and coordination using Navisworks or similar tools.
- Drive consistency in model structure and documentation across teams and projects.
Drawing Production Management
- Oversee architectural drawing production across multiple concurrent projects.
- Coordinate with Project Architects and Project Managers regarding resourcing, schedules, milestones, and deliverables.
- Review architectural plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and specifications for technical accuracy and consistency.
- Review multidisciplinary drawing packages for coordination between architectural and engineering disciplines.
- Ensure packages are clear, coordinated, code-compliant, constructible, and ready for client, permit, tender, and construction submission.
- Identify production bottlenecks, documentation gaps, and coordination risks and implement practical workflow improvements.
Newforma Project Information Management
- Administer and optimize Newforma Project Center for project communication and documentation.
- Establish standards for email filing, correspondence tracking, RFIs, submittals, transmittals, and document control.
