  • Communicate with stakeholders to deliver cohesive, functional designs.
  Client Engagement and Expertise
  • Act as the primary architectural contact for clients—presenting designs, addressing feedback, and ensuring their needs are met.
  • Solve complex design challenges by selecting appropriate materials, layouts, and structures to ensure functionality and compliance.
  • Promote design innovations and incorporate sustainable practices when possible.
  Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Architecture.
  • Licensed member of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA).
  • In-depth knowledge of the Ontario Building Code, Accessibility Standards, and Zoning/Municipal Bylaws.
  • Proficiency in producing working drawings and construction details.
  • Solid understanding of building materials, specifications, and construction techniques.
  • Advanced certifications, such as LEED accreditation.
  • Experience working with governmental agencies on permits and zoning.
  • Knowledge of emerging technologies, such as parametric design or smart building systems.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit.
  • Familiarity with SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an asset.
  • Experience with 3D visualization tools like Lumion is a plus.
  Work Experience
  • Minimum five (5) years of architectural experience, with a strong track record in project delivery and client management.
  • Experience designing manufacturing, logistics, or warehousing facilities.
  What we look for
  • Strong understanding of applicable design standards, building codes and general engineering principles.
  • Ability to take initiative and have a high degree of judgement in problem solving.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively convey ideas, problems and solutions to diverse stakeholders.
  • Strong time management skills to oversee multiple responsibilities and deadlines efficiently.
  • Capability to thrive in a dynamic workplace and respond proactively to changing priorities.
