• A minimum of 3 years (post-graduation) of relevant working experience in a professional design firm.
• Proficiency in technical detailing, drafting, and landscape construction practices, along with knowledge of local construction and plant materials and experience with municipal and agency approvals and regulations.
• Previous experience working within large multi-disciplinary teams as part of a project delivery system that includes project agreements, project specific output specifications and schedules for infrastructure led projects such as rail or roadway is considered an asset.
• Experience in preparing construction documentation such as specifications and schedules of quantities would be an asset.
• Proficiency in the latest version of AutoCAD (Civil3D) is mandatory.
• Proficiency in MicroStation and Revit is an asset.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), SketchUp, Revit, and Rhino is considered an asset.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is mandatory.
• Capacity to multi-task and thrive in a fast-paced environment with a keen eye for detail.
• Capacity to uphold design excellence in challenging project time frames and deadlines.
• Certification from the International Society of Arboriculture is considered an asset.
• A valid driver’s license is considered an asset.
