• Licensed Architect registered with the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA)
• Approximately 7 years of architectural experience
• Extensive experience delivering Canadian government, institutional, or public sector projects
• Strong knowledge of the Ontario Building Code, National Building Code of Canada, and applicable municipal regulations
• Proven expertise in QA/QC, technical reviews, drawing package coordination, and design compliance
• Strong skills with Revit

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams
• Must be eligible to obtain Government of Canada Level II Security Clearance and must not have visited or travelled to countries on the exclusion list in the past 10 years (India, Iran, China, Pakistan or Russia)
• Candidates who have previously held a Government of Canada security clearance are strongly encouraged to apply, although previous clearance is not required

• Opportunity to work on high-profile, secure government projects
• Competitive salary plus benefits
• Join a respected and stable architecture firm with an excellent reputation
