About the Firm

Our client is a well established architectural practice with multiple offices across British Columbia. Known for its collaborative culture and long standing client relationships, the firm delivers a diverse range of projects throughout the province, serving both public and private sector clients.

One of their growing Interior BC offices continues to experience a strong and consistent workload, supported by a healthy pipeline of projects and an established presence within the region. As the office expands, they are looking to add an experienced Registered Architect who is excited to take on greater project leadership while contributing to the continued growth of the team.

Why Consider Relocating from Edmonton?

If you're currently living and working in Edmonton, this is an opportunity to continue building your architectural career in Western Canada while experiencing a completely different lifestyle in British Columbia's Interior.

For architects who enjoy Alberta's access to the outdoors but are ready for a change, Interior BC offers a compelling combination of career opportunity, smaller city living, a milder climate, and year round access to some of Western Canada's most beautiful lakes, mountains and recreational areas.

You can trade longer commutes and big city living for communities where work, home and the outdoors are all within easy reach. Skiing, hiking, mountain biking, golf, boating, wineries and countless trails and lakes become part of everyday life rather than something reserved for a weekend away.

Professionally, the move can also provide something increasingly difficult to find within larger architectural markets: the opportunity to have a meaningful impact.

Many architects reach a point in their careers where they want more than simply their next project. They want greater ownership, stronger client relationships, increased responsibility, broader project exposure, and the opportunity to become an important part of the team and community they work within.

This opportunity offers exactly that.

You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of commercial, institutional, civic, educational, community, multifamily and mixed use projects while leading projects from early planning through construction. Working closely with clients, consultants, contractors and senior leadership, you’ll have the opportunity to influence projects from concept through completion while continuing to develop as a project leader.

For an Edmonton architect who wants to stay in Western Canada but is ready for a change of scenery, a smaller community and greater access to the outdoors, Interior BC can offer an exceptional next chapter.

Whether you’re looking for greater project responsibility, a new professional challenge, or simply a lifestyle change, this role offers the opportunity to build a rewarding long term career while enjoying an excellent work life balance.

About the Role

Our client is seeking an experienced Registered Architect to lead projects through all phases of design and construction.
