• Experience preparing architectural drawing packages through design development, construction documentation, and permitting.
• Ability to interpret and coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings and specifications.

• A collaborative approach, clear communication skills, and the confidence to work with architects, consultants, contractors, and internal project teams.
• Experience with institutional facilities, office buildings, commercial developments, or multi-storey mixed-use projects is highly valued.
