• Visible impact on project delivery and client success

Professional Development

This role offers the opportunity to strengthen your technical expertise, expand your multidisciplinary coordination experience, and contribute to increasingly complex projects. You'll work closely with experienced architects and engineering teams while continuing to develop your production, detailing, and documentation skills.

• Collaborate directly with architects, engineers, consultants, and project teams
• Coordinate multidisciplinary project information to help maintain project schedules and deliverables
• Support detailing and drawing production across multiple project types
• Participate in project coordination activities and technical problem‑solving efforts
• Help maintain document quality, consistency, and accuracy throughout project execution
• Contribute to construction administration, field investigations, shop drawing reviews, and change management activities as needed

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a technically strong Architectural Designer who enjoys hands‑on production work, construction documentation, and collaboration with multidisciplinary design teams.

• Advanced proficiency with Revit
• Strong experience producing architectural construction documents
• Experience with construction document (CD) phases, detailing, and drawing production
• Ability to maintain coordinated drawing sets and incorporate project revisions
