About the Role

You will work closely with the Principal Architect , Managing Partner, and production team to help deliver commercial TI permit packages more efficiently and consistently.

The main focus of this role is to help bridge the gap between the Principal Architect’s overall direction and the production team’s day-to-day drawing work.

You will be expected to:

- Produce AutoCAD drawings for commercial TI and permit projects
- Assist with preparing permit drawing packages
- Take direction from the Principal Architect and break it down into smaller production tasks
- Support junior/intermediate team members with drawing-related questions
- Help organize internal deadlines, drawing progress, and task priorities
- Review assigned drawings for completeness before Principal Architect review
- Help assemble drawing packages before actual submission deadlines
- Keep the production team moving and organized

At this stage, final code interpretation, and final technical decisions will remain with the Principal Architect.



This role is mainly focused on internal production delivery, drawing package organization, and team support.

What We Are Looking For

- 4–7 years of architectural office experience preferred
- Strong commercial TI permit drawing experience required
- Direct experience producing permit drawing packages in Canada
- Experience with larger retail or office TI projects strongly preferred
- Experience with projects around 20,000 sq.ft. or larger is a strong asset
- Strong AutoCAD skills required
- Revit experience is an asset
- Good understanding of commercial permit drawing sets
- Familiarity with BCBC and VBBL is an asset
- Strong communication and organization skills
- Comfortable working on multiple projects at the same time
- Comfortable supporting junior team members while still producing drawings directly
- Boutique firm experience is an asset

Compensation Salary: $75,000–$90,000 per year, depending on experience.

Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is someone who can take a broad direction from the Principal Architect, turn it into clear production tasks, help the production team move forward, and prepare drawing packages before the actual deadline.

You should be hands-on, organized, communicative, and comfortable working in a small but growing firm.

This could be a great prospect for someone who is currently intermediate-level but wants to grow into a stronger project delivery and leadership role over time.
