• Prepare and manage comprehensive permit and working drawing packages
• Oversee site visits, as-built drawing reviews, and construction milestone inspections
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to improving internal architectural standards and processes

What We're Looking For

• 5–10 years of experience in residential low-rise architecture
• Strong background in design development (DD) and permit coordination
• Prior experience as an Architectural Technologist is essential
• Proven ability to manage full project lifecycle independently
• Excellent communication and coordination skills across teams and municipalities
• Proficient with AutoCAD (Revit is a bonus)
• Sound knowledge of OBC and municipal zoning bylaws
• Experience with construction documentation, sales/marketing coordination, and permit scheduling

• A company that values mentorship, process improvement, and long-term development
