• Support Canadian delivery and our US specification services as they grow.
• Research materials, codes, and methods; maintain technical libraries and standards.
• Balance multiple deadlines; communicate risks early and keep stakeholders updated.
• Typical split: ~75% spec / project work, ~25% CMS work plan.

About You

This role asks for focus, resilience, and care. You’ll juggle competing timelines and complex detail—and you’ll grow fast.

• Architectural Technologist (or similar) post-secondary, or equivalent experience.
• Understanding of contract documents; CCDC awareness is an asset.
