Your work environment at EXP

Based in our Fredericton, Moncton, or Saint John office, you will support EXP’s New Brunswick architectural practice on new construction, renovation, and existing-building projects.

• Support the development and coordination of envelope details and the continuity of water, air, vapour, and thermal-control layers.
• Develop and review project-specific architectural specifications, with particular responsibility for building-envelope systems.
• Maintain and improve architectural master specifications, office standards, technical guidance, and specification workflows.
• Coordinate architectural specifications with drawings, consultant documents, project requirements, procurement methods, and client standards.
• Participate in interdisciplinary technical and drawing-to-specification quality reviews before major submissions.
• Support construction administration through review of envelope-related submittals, shop drawings, substitutions, RFIs, mock-ups, field testing, deficiencies, and corrective work.
• Conduct building-envelope investigations, condition assessments, performance audits, and site reviews for existing buildings.
• Prepare clear technical reports, recommendations, drawings, and specifications for repair and rehabilitation projects.
• Review technical reports and documentation prepared by developing staff.
• Provide technical guidance to clients and project teams and mentor architects, interns, engineers, and technologists.
• Contribute to technical proposals, project scoping, work planning, and client presentations.
• Travel to project sites throughout New Brunswick and elsewhere in Atlantic Canada, as required.

What your experience looks like

• Licensed architect, professional engineer, registered or certified technologist, or equivalent senior-level building-science and construction-documentation experience.

• Demonstrated experience preparing or coordinating architectural specifications using MasterFormat and SectionFormat principles.
• Experience reviewing architectural drawings, technical details, specifications, submittals, shop drawings, substitutions, and RFIs.
• Experience with new-construction envelope design and existing-building condition assessments.
• Working knowledge of Canadian building and energy codes and applicable standards.
• Experience with institutional and public-sector projects is preferred.
