What this job actually isWe're an architectural controls firm. Developers hire us to protect the look and value of their new communities, and we review every home that gets built in them.As Architectural Coordinator, you'll be the person who decides whether a builder's submission works: plotting the house on the lot, calculating grade elevations, checking the front elevation, materials and colour scheme against the community's guidelines and against what's already going up next door... then telling the builder yes, no, or here's what to change. When the answer is "change it," you'll often sketch the fix yourself.It's fast, high-volume, decision-heavy work with real consequences for how Calgary-area neighbourhoods turn out.To be clear about what it isn'tthis is not project architecture, and it's not a path to stamping drawings. If your goal is designing buildings, this isn't your role. If you like drawings, streetscapes, quick judgment calls and a lot of files moving at once, keep reading.Who we areE2 + Associates is a small, established architectural design firm in Calgary — the heart of the most active new‐home construction market in North America.

Recently we've invested heavily in growth: expanding our service area and client base, upgrading our capacity, and building our own software platform through our sister company, Streetscape Real Estate Technologies, a purpose‐built system for architectural controls review.
