Senior Architect - ( 240001NQ )

Description

The buildings that make up the landscape of our daily lives seem like permanent fixtures, fastened to a time and place. But what if that didn’t have to be true? What if our built environment — where we live, learn, play, and conduct business — carried us forward instead?

Our Buildings practice keeps people at its heart, recognizing that our shared journey forward is shaped by the meaningful and responsive places we design. From iconic designs to monumental groundbreakings, join us to bring transformational building solutions to life. Every day we apply our expertise, creativity, and passion to propel communities into the future—join us!

Your Opportunity

You will lead diverse project teams successfully through the design process, managing workflow and production activities, while ensuring client satisfaction with the process and product.

As a senior member of our Atlantic Buildings team, you will be expected to help reinforce a collaborative and engaging environment for your teams while also ensuring design excellence, exceptional project delivery, and the highest levels of client satisfaction across Atlantic Canada.
