THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a dedicated Architectural Technologist to join our design and drafting team. In this role, you’ll produce precise, permit-ready construction drawings for both residential and light commercial projects. You’ll collaborate with internal teams and external consultants to keep designs aligned with project goals, municipal requirements, and client needs.

• Prepare and maintain accurate construction drawings—floorplans, elevations, sections, and site plans—ensuring they’re build-ready.
• Apply design standards, architectural guidelines, and redline markups to delivery-ready drawings.
• Update model drawings as needed to incorporate new design features, structural changes, or municipality requirements.
• Manage drawing accuracy, consistency, and version control across multiple projects (residential and light commercial).
• Work closely with internal teams—design, construction, estimating, permitting—to align drawings with project objectives.
• Respond to technical queries during construction and support on-site coordination.
• Participate in design review and model development meetings to enhance processes and outcomes.
• Coordinate with engineers and consultants to integrate structural and mechanical elements into final plans.
• Produce permit-ready drawing sets and aid in submitting documentation to municipalities or developers.
• Maintain organized digital filing of plans, templates, approvals, and revisions.
• Keep up-to-date with regulatory changes and adapt standard documentation accordingly.
