This is an outstanding opportunity for a Principal Architect to join a growing, design‑led firm based in Langley, BC. Our client is seeking a dynamic and entrepreneurial leader to drive the next phase of their growth – spearheading business development, leading mid‑rise multifamily and residential projects, and shaping the strategic direction of the studio.
About Our Client
Our client is an established Architecture & Design firm with over 40 years of success across Western Canada. Known for their thoughtful, community‑driven approach, they have delivered a wide range of award‑winning projects throughout British Columbia. Their expertise spans residential, mixed‑use, and community‑based developments, with a growing portfolio of mid‑rise multifamily housing that blends sustainability, livability, and design excellence.

- Excellent understanding of municipal planning processes, rezoning, and building codes in British Columbia.
