Job description

Intermediate Architectural Technologist - job captain

Position: Intermediate Architectural Technologist - Job Captain

Company: Rootstock Architecture

Location: Edmonton and Area

Join a purpose-driven, female-led architecture studio designing smart, community-focused housing and entertainment spaces.

Rootstock Architecture is a growing Edmonton-based firm specializing in multi-family, mixed-use, and care-oriented projects. We’re known for our collaborative approach, technical excellence, and commitment to thoughtful, buildable design.

Why Join Rootstock?

At Rootstock, we’re building more than buildings — we’re building a practice where talented people can do their best work without sacrificing their lives outside the office.

We are a female-led studio committed to collaboration, empathy, and design excellence. We value voices at every level and believe in creating space for personal and professional growth

We design meaningful housing, entertainment and community-oriented projects that contribute to a better built environment. But what makes us different is how we work: collaborative, flexible, innovative, and human. Here’s what you can expect:

• Creative Autonomy – You’ll be trusted to lead technical work and help shape how we operate — not just follow instructions.
• Future-Focused Practice – We're actively integrating AI tools, generative design, and automation into our workflows. Your curiosity and input are welcome.
• Growth Without Burnout – We offer a clear path to grow into leadership roles — without endless overtime or red tape.
• Flexible & Supportive Culture – Hybrid work, flexible hours, and a team that respects your time and boundaries.
• Tight-Knit, Low-Ego Team – You won’t get lost in the crowd. Your ideas and expertise matter here.

What You’ll Do

As an Intermediate Architectural Technologist at Rootstock, you’ll help bring our projects to life — from schematic design through construction documentation and into the field. Your work will include:

• Producing detailed drawing sets for permits and construction
• Coordinating with architects, consultants, and contractors to ensure smooth project execution and documentation clarity
• Interpreting and applying building codes and zoning bylaws to ensure regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Leading Revit model development and documentation in a cloud-based collaboration environment
• Exploring and implementing AI-assisted workflows (e.g., code audits, drawing automation, generative massing tools) to enhance efficiency and design intelligence
• Attending meetings and periodic site visits to support construction and resolve technical issues in the field (optional but a great way to grow!)
• Contributing to internal innovation efforts, including workflow improvements, tech stack development, and peer learning

What You Bring

• Diploma in Architectural Technology from an accredited institution
• 3–7 years of experience in architectural practice, with a focus on construction documents and consultant coordination
• Proficiency in Revit (AutoCAD basics), with experience in cloud collaboration platforms (e.g., BIM360, ACC)
• Strong Knowledge of Alberta Building Code, NBC, and zoning bylaws
• Demonstrated experience with wood-frame construction, building envelope detailing, and technical coordination
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to manage tasks independently
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and collaborative working style
• Interest in emerging technologies and curiosity about using AI, automation, or generative tools to improve quality and efficiency (experience with Dynamo, Veras, TestFit, etc. is a plus)

How to Apply

If you’re excited by the idea of building smarter, better housing in a supportive, flexible studio — we’d love to hear from you.

Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
