Calgary, Alberta, Canada City of Calgary Full time $123,300 - $250,000 per year

If you are committed to public service, enjoy collaborating with others, share our values and have a desire to learn and grow, join The City of Calgary. City employees deliver the services, run the programs and operate the facilities which make a difference in our community. We support work-life balance, promote physical and psychological safety, and offer competitive wages, pensions, and benefits. Together we make Calgary a great place to make a living, a great place to make a life.

The City is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and equitable workplace which is representative of the community we serve. We welcome those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism and reconciliation. Applications are encouraged from members of groups that are historically disadvantaged and underrepresented. Accommodations are available during the hiring process, upon request.

As a Senior Project Architect, you will lead the delivery of a range of high complexity vertical infrastructure projects valued between approximately $50M - $200M+, including recreation facilities, firehalls, operations centers, libraries, mixed-use developments, and other critical City assets. As a central position to shaping Calgary's future infrastructure, you will oversee the full project lifecycle from early development and design through construction and closeout, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards. As a Registered Architect in the Buildings and Architecture division, you will also provide subject matter expertise in early project phases, helping shape innovative solutions that meet Calgary's long-term infrastructure needs. Primary duties include:

  • Lead project planning, design and execution: Independently manage design, construction and handover of complex, very high-risk capital projects with a high degree of autonomy from design to closeout.

  • Contract Administration: Manage contracts, review and approve change orders/extensions, and ensure compliance with specifications and standards. Analyze change requests and/or value management opportunities for cost, necessity and feasibility and identify innovative solutions.
  • Risk Management: Identify potential risks and implement mitigation strategies using sound architectural judgment and project management best practices.
  • Design Oversight: Provide guidance to consultants to ensure projects align with design goals, guidelines, and standards. Utilize a broad perspective of professional architectural judgment for solving complex problems with innovative solutions and guidance on deviation from standards.
  • Interested Party coordination: Build and sustain strong relationships with internal business units, external partners, and community interested parties to align outcomes with City priorities.
  • Team leadership: May lead project or program teams, including internal staff and administrators, fostering collaboration and accountability.
  • Reporting and communication: Prepare and deliver clear progress reports to senior management and Council, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making.
  • Subject Matter Expert: May act as Discipline Champion for Supply's architectural review process and prequalification process under the Architectural category.
  • Policy Development: Contribute to the creation and maintenance of standards and policies governing architectural design and construction.
  • Early Project Development: Provide architectural expertise during early phases, identifying innovative solutions and strategies for valuable opportunities and successful delivery.
