Viewed 0 times

Job Description

Join a team that’s shaping the future of justice architecture. With over 30 years of specialized experience, we design civic spaces that reflect the complexity of the legal system while prioritizing safety, efficiency, and functionality. Our work spans all levels of government, including courthouses, police facilities, and detention centers.

We are seeking a seasoned Architectural Project Manager who thrives on structure, clarity, and delivering large-scale projects with precision. This is a leadership role focused on planning, execution, and client relationship management, where your ability to manage contracts, resources, and budgets is just as important as your knowledge of architectural and engineering systems.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full project lifecycle: negotiate, develop, monitor, and control project scopes, deliverables, schedules, and budgets

  • Create detailed work plans for all disciplines, allocate hours and resources, and ensure projects stay on track

  • Lead and coordinate integrated teams of architects and engineers, overseeing QA/QC procedures with a focus on construction drawings and specifications

  • Manage scope changes effectively—identifying impacts and negotiating solutions that uphold contractual obligations and client expectations

  • Collaborate with contractors, consultants, and authorities to resolve constructability issues and address owner concerns

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the client—building trust, leading meetings, resolving issues, and maintaining strong long-term relationship.

What we’re looking for: 

  • 15+ years of experience managing complex architectural projects, ideally in institutional sectors

  • Expertise in architectural and engineering systems design, including M&E, structural systems, building codes, and permitting

  • Experience with project accounting and revenue forecasting

  • Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. You’re calm under pressure, solutions-oriented, and an excellent collaborator

  • Strategic thinker with experience in business development, project planning, and client managemen.

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to work on impactful public projects that truly serve communities. You’ll lead with autonomy while being supported by a collaborative, experienced team.

Our remote-first structure offers flexibility, with occasional travel to our Toronto office for key meetings or project milestones.
