About Resimate

Resimate is a one-stop shop that delivers modular, off-site construction of backyard homes in Canada. We help homeowners build a backyard home for an aging parent or adult child, handling everything between the factory and the yard: lot assessment, design, engineering coordination, permitting, selections and installation. Our units are CSA A277 certified and we work across 12+ Ontario municipalities. Our values are Empathy, Experience and Excellence.

The Role

Permitting is the step that decides when our clients get to move in. As our Permits Coordinator, you will own every project from the draft site plan through to an issued building permit, as the single point of contact for drawings, engineers and municipalities. You will report to our Founder & CEO and work closely with our sales, construction and lot-assessment teams.
