Parkin Architects Limited is an employee-owned, award-winning, architectural practice firm with a proven track record in practical, innovative and economical design. During a history spanning some 60 years, Parkin has designed some of Canada’s most notable buildings. Parkin’s Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa offices serve both Canadian and international clients with the immediacy and attention of a local service. Parkin’s design influence can currently be found in eight of Canada’s provinces, and in Nunavut. The employee-owned firm is staffed with well over 140 experienced architects, designers, project managers, administrative staff, including LEED, Evidence-Based Design and LEAN accredited professionals, many of whom are dedicated to specific market sectors. We believe in personalizing the design experience for clients and maintaining a hands-on approach to projects. Every project we undertake has the direct involvement of Directors and Principals. Promoting mutual trust, we address the full scope of a facility’s operational requirements, from addressing technology and space needs to optimizing everyday movements, as well as employee health, well-being and productivity. Our unique ability to provide truly meaningful services to our clients is largely derived from the partnerships that we foster with them. We are currently looking for motivated and ambitious Co-Op Students to join our Vancouver office for an 8 months term. You will be involved in assisting on multiple phases of the architectural process, such as design proposals, schematic and design development, construction drawings, permitting, and the construction process. During your time with us and through our unique mentoring program you will work closely with teams to understand the scope of work, budget, goals, deliverables, and timeline to ensure project success. You will develop skills in the areas of planning and programming, multi-disciplinary coordination and project delivery requirements over the life of project.
