You’ll collaborate with product and engineering, run lean user-testing with trades workers, and deliver polished Figma prototypes. This position is primarily remote, however we’ll need you on-site in Vancouver 4-5 days per month for design workshops and stakeholder reviews. This is a 16 week fixed-term contract position, with the opportunity to provide ongoing support once the initial contract ends.

• Run quick discovery sessions and usability tests with construction employers and trades workers; iterate on feedback

• Design intuitive, mobile-first workflows for construction worker onboarding, skills development, training modules, and workforce management dashboards

• Ensure modern UI/UX flows and accessibility are implemented into every screen

• Leverage AI-assist tools to speed up repetitive UI tasks

• Deliver a concise style guide / design system for long-term maintainability

Skills and Requirements

• Experience leading UI/UX design with a growing app-based tech company

• 6-10+ years designing SaaS or workforce products (mobile + web)

• High level of expertise with Figma (auto-layout, components, prototyping) and knowledge of Ionic/Angular constraints

• Proven ability to plan and conduct lean user-research and usability-testing cycles

• Strong grasp of responsive design, accessibility, and inclusive UX best practices

• Located in Metro Vancouver with ability to collaborate in-person 4-5 days per month

• Portfolio of previous work examples
