Original job description

Role Overview
Architecture49 is seeking a senior Laboratory Strategy & Design Specialist to lead the planning, programming, strategy, and design of complex laboratory and science facilities across Canada. This highly visible, client-facing leadership role combines technical expertise, project delivery, business development, mentoring, and practice leadership. The successful candidate will work closely with scientists, researchers, clinicians, operators, and executive stakeholders to translate scientific and operational requirements into innovative, functional, and technically integrated facility solutions. This role is also a key succession-planning position within the national Science + Technology (S+T) practice.

Key Responsibilities

Lead laboratory strategy, feasibility studies, optimization initiatives, functional programming, and planning assignments.
Analyze scientific workflows, operational requirements, equipment needs, containment requirements, and facility performance criteria.
Develop functional and technical programs, space plans, adjacency studies, zoning strategies, room data sheets, and planning documentation.
Lead laboratory planning and design from early strategy through concept design, design development, and construction documentation.
Oversee integration of laboratory equipment, infrastructure, containment systems, biosafety requirements, vivarium facilities, GMP environments, cleanrooms, and other regulated laboratory spaces.
Serve as a senior advisor and trusted partner to clients, facilitating stakeholder engagement, workshops, decision-making sessions, and technical reviews.
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, consultants, engineers, commissioning specialists, and delivery partners to ensure successful project execution.
Provide technical leadership, QA/QC oversight, peer reviews, and guidance on laboratory planning best practices.
Mentor laboratory planners, architects, designers, and emerging leaders while advancing Architecture49's tools, standards, and knowledge base.
Support business development activities including client relationship management, pursuits, proposals, interviews, and strategic growth initiatives.
Contribute to regional and national Science + Technology practice leadership and demonstrate readiness to assume broader leadership responsibilities.

Required Qualifications

Professional Architecture degree and current OAA registration (or immediate eligibility through recognized mobility/reciprocity pathways).
Minimum 15 years of professional experience, including at least 10 years focused on laboratory strategy, programming, planning, or design.
Demonstrated experience leading complex science and laboratory projects from strategy and programming through design and delivery.
Strong understanding of laboratory operations, workflow planning, equipment integration, building systems, safety, commissioning, and facility performance.
Proven ability to lead senior client engagements, multidisciplinary teams, technical reviews, and project delivery.
Experience with proposal development, business development, mentoring, and practice leadership.
Excellent communication, facilitation, organizational, and leadership skills.

Preferred Experience

Public-sector science facilities (e.g., federal laboratories, research institutions, health agencies).
Containment laboratories (CL2/CL3), biosafety environments, vivaria, animal research facilities, GMP and cleanroom environments.
Pharmaceutical, biomanufacturing, diagnostics, engineering, physical science, or specialized testing facilities.
Laboratory modernization, operational optimization, commissioning, and post-occupancy evaluation.
Bilingual English/French capabilities and/or additional Canadian architectural licensure.
Federal security clearance eligibility

Compensation:

AB, BC, NT, NU, SK & YT: $110,600 - $146,500
