What you'll be challenged to do:

As a Senior Technical Designer, you will be a pivotal figure in driving innovation and transformation. This role is not confined to a single project phase, offering the opportunity to influence the full lifecycle - from design to development and construction documentation to contract administration. This is a technical, production-focused role. It is best suited for candidates who are passionate about construction documentation, detailing, and technical problem-solving.

In this capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:

Production of complete construction drawing packages from concept through to planning approvals for various building types from conception to completion.
Translate design into clear, coordinated, and buildable documentation.
Develop and detail wall assemblies, building envelope systems, and critical junctions with a strong focus on constructability and performance.
Coordinate with structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil consultants to produce fully integrated drawing sets
Identify and resolve technical issues early, ensuring drawings are accurate, complete, and aligned across disciplines
Prepare planning approval and permit submission packages, ensuring compliance with municipal requirements and the Ontario Building Code
Perform rigorous QA/QC reviews of drawing sets prior to submission or issue
Support construction through shop drawing review, RFIs, site instructions, and site coordination
Contribute to maintaining and improving drawing standards, templates, and technical workflows.
Collaborate on multiple projects with internal team members and external consultants, taking projects from design development to construction completion.
Provide specialized knowledge by advising on materials, technology, and processes involved in building design, while applying a thorough understanding of building science methodologies.
Assist with construction administration activities, including shop drawing review, specifications, and site instructions.
Stay at the forefront of industry advancements by keeping up-to-date with legislation, standards, and technological innovations in the field.
Exhibit strong leadership and relationship-building skills.

What you will bring to our firm:

Diploma from an accredited Architectural Technologist Program or equivalent.
Demonstrated ability to independently produce full drawing sets from concept through IFC
Knowledge of Building envelope systems (waterproofing, air/vapour barriers, thermal performance)
Knowledge of Wall assemblies, detailing, and constructability
Knowledge of Ontario Building Code and local planning/permit processes
15+ years of relevant and related experience is preferred.
Advanced skills with Revit.
Specialized knowledge of AutoCAD, MicroStation, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office applications.

What we prefer you bring:

Demonstrated high-level problem-solving abilities and analytical skills.
Exceptional communication skills that facilitate effective mentoring and team leadership.
Experience in receiving executive coaching, setting the stage for your legacy building and visionary leadership in architectural design.

Compensation:

The salary range for this position is $76,500.00 - $108,000.00. Salary is dependent upon experience and geographic location.

Featured Benefits:

Hybrid (in-person and remote) work environment
Comprehensive benefits package including wellness programs, parental leave, and pet insurance, in addition to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
Competitive paid-time-off (PTO) accruals

We are committed to your personal growth and professional development, so we offer:

Tuition reimbursement
Access to internal and external training programs
Support active participation in professional organizations
