The Company
Our client is an established multi-disciplinary architecture, engineering, and planning firm delivering complex projects across a variety of sectors. They are looking to add an experienced
Project Compliance Architect to their Toronto team.
This is a specialized opportunity for a technically strong architect with experience in project compliance, client requirements, design review, and construction administration. Experience with public-sector or institutional projects is preferred.
THE ROLE
The Project Compliance Architect works with clients at the outset of projects to establish project-specific requirements and develop the output specifications that define how the building is to be designed, delivered, operated, maintained, and perform.
Once the design team is engaged, you will oversee compliance with these requirements throughout design development, construction documentation, and construction. Working closely with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and the client, you will review project documentation, identify compliance issues, and provide technical guidance through
Contract Administration and construction.

- Participate in design reviews, client meetings, construction meetings, site reviews, and project inspections.
- Review RFIs, shop drawings, submittals, substitutions, and changes from a compliance perspective.
- Ensure the completed project remains aligned with the client's requirements and applicable standards.
What's Required
- 9+ years of professional architectural experience.
- Registered Architect in Canada or eligibility for registration.
- Proven experience in project compliance or architectural oversight.
- Strong technical understanding of architectural design, construction documentation, and building systems.
- Experience with Contract Administration and construction-phase services.
