  • Ensure Team Leaders have followed Quality Management protocols
  • Monitor project budget hours and project schedule, and take corrective action as required
  • Mentor staff in a motivational environment in areas of project management, team building, efficiency and customer relations
  • What You Bring to the Table

  • Technical education in Architecture (B Arch or M Arch)
  • Working knowledge of Revit
  • Minimum of 10+ years’ experience in the design of institutional, commercial and industrial projects
  • Previous supervisory and project management experience in a consulting environment
  • Excellent knowledge of Canadian / Ontario and other relevant codes and standards (i.e., OBC, ESC, CSA, IES, IEEE, NFPA, ASHRAE)
  • Excellent communication, time management and multi-tasking skills, with a strong emphasis on attention to detail
  • Strong interest and experience in business development
  • Life at WalterFedy

    As an innovative multi-discipline design and construction collective, our ambition goes beyond great design – we are here to enhance the world around us. To make it happen, we need a team of agile, ambitious, and big-picture thinkers who share our drive to harness our collective talents to do something bigger.
