Title: Senior Building Envelope Systems Designer The Senior Building Envelope Systems Designer designs, develops, and standardizes the building envelope systems behind Triumph's cladding, glazing, curtain wall, and window and door products. You report to the VP of Glazing and PrimeFab, and you work closely with estimating, fabrication, and field teams across Cladding, ICI Glazing, Primeline, and PrimeFab to make sure systems perform in the real world, not just on paper. This is a technical role with real reach: the details and assemblies you develop don't stay on one project, they become the standard that other designers reuse across the company for years afterward, long after the original job that prompted them has closed out. Good work in this role means an assembly you developed shows up correctly on a jobsite months later with no surprises: the thermal performance holds up under real weather, the interfaces with adjacent systems work the way they were drawn, and the crew installing it isn't left guessing at how the pieces are supposed to fit together on site. You’ll spend your time on design assist with clients, building out a shared library of standardized details, and working through the envelope problems that don't have an easy answer yet, the kind that show up when two systems from different divisions meet at a corner or a transition and nobody has drawn that condition before. Some weeks that means sitting with a client team weighing a cladding system against a curtain wall system on cost, schedule, and performance, and helping them understand exactly what they're trading off with each option so the decision is an informed one rather than a guess. Other weeks it means being on-site with a fabrication crew figuring out why a mockup failed a water test,



then going back and updating the standard detail so the next crew, on a different project entirely, doesn't run into the same problem. The people who thrive here own their designs past the drawing stage. When a detail doesn't hold up in the field, they say so, figure out why, and fix the standard so it doesn't happen again, rather than treating the drawing as finished the day it was issued and someone else's problem after that. Over time, that habit is what turns a personal design decision into a company standard other people can trust without having to re-verify it themselves. Annual bonus tied to individual performance and the overall results of the Glazing and PrimeFab group, so your compensation reflects both the quality of your own design work and how the broader team performs over the course of the year. Comprehensive benefits package covering health, dental, and the other standard group advantages Triumph offers its full-time staff, starting once you clear the standard eligibility period, so you and your family have coverage in place early in your tenure. A senior technical role with real influence over how Triumph's envelope systems are designed and standardized company wide, not a role where your drawings sit in a single project folder and are never looked at again once the job closes out. On-site collaboration with fabrication and field teams in the Greater Toronto Area, with occasional visits to plants and job sites so you can see, firsthand,



how the systems you design actually get built, installed, and lived with, rather than working entirely from a desk removed from the outcome. Room to build something that lasts well beyond any single project: a standardized detail and assembly library used across the organization, one that becomes part of how Triumph designs envelope systems for years after you've personally moved on from any one job or project team. It's the kind of work you can point to well into the future and say you built the foundation for it. A workplace culture built around straight talk and shared standards, where a design problem gets raised and solved openly rather than quietly patched over and left for the next person to rediscover the hard way, on their own project, without the benefit of what you already learned. Technical Skills ~10 or more years of experience designing building envelope systems, including cladding, curtain wall, glazing, or window and door assemblies, in a design, engineering, or fabrication environment, with a track record of details that made it all the way from concept sketch through to a working, weathertight assembly on a real building, not just through a design review. Proficient in AutoCAD for detailing and drawing development, with working knowledge of thermal modeling software such as THERM, and comfortable using both together to test whether a proposed assembly will actually perform before it's built, rather than finding out after it's already installed and the fix is expensive. ~ University degree in architecture, engineering, or a related building science field, giving you the technical grounding to evaluate a system based on its underlying physics and structural behaviour, not j
