• Ensure compliance with local codes, standards, and zoning requirements

• Provide technical support to junior staff and contribute to in-house coordination

• Utilize tools like Bluebeam to streamline workflows and review project deliverables

Must haves:

• 10+ years of architectural experience working with the NBC and BCBC, with at least 8 years of hands-on Revit use

• Strong knowledge of commercial construction methods and building codes

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while keeping calm under pressure

• Proven time management skills — you know how to hit deadlines without cutting corners

• Work life balance is highly valued!
