Job description

We’re looking for a Technical Designer or Architectural Technologist who lives for the details, the coordination, the satisfaction of a perfectly drafted drawing set. You’ll have your hands in both the work and the systems behind it: creating and managing our technical details and well as our CAD/Revit standards. You’ll also play a key role in strengthening our technical capabilities as we evolve from AutoCAD into Revit.

What you’ll do

• Technical Design and Detailing: Collaborate with our designers, project managers, and construction leads to make sure the design intent is translated to our IFCs.
• Drawing reviews; Quality control on our drawings and details before they hit the site.
• Maintain and evolve our CAD and Revit templates, details, families, and best practices.
• Support evolution of our drawing standards including transfer of CAD standards into Revit.
• Support and mentor the design team technically — you’ll be the go-to for technical details, CAD/Revit questions and model troubleshooting.

What you bring

• 5–10 years of experience as an Architectural Technologist or Technical Designer, ideally in corporate workplace or interior architecture.
• Proven experience overseeing and coordinating construction documentation at a high level.
• Strong understanding of building systems, detailing, and applicable codes.
• Advanced technical proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD.
• A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in mentoring and supporting others.
• Comfort balancing hands‑on technical work with process improvement and oversight.

Why this role matters

Design is only as good as the drawings that make it real. This role plays a critical part in improving technical quality, consistency, and coordination — helping ensure our designs are as strong in documentation as they are in concept and construction.

Why you’ll love working here

We’re a design‑build firm that believes great design shouldn’t be out of reach. We value clarity, collaboration, and practical creativity. No ego, no fluff — just good work with good people.

This position is Hybrid (Toronto)

Let’s build together.
