Our client, a well-established and respected engineering consulting firm, is seeking a Building Envelope Drafting Technologist to join its growing team. This is a newly created, strategic position designed for someone who wants to become the technical drafting specialist for the firm's Building Envelope practice.

Working alongside experienced engineers and project teams, you'll play a key role in the development of construction drawings for building rehabilitation and restoration projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for building envelope systems who enjoys collaborating on technically challenging projects involving high-rise residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Prepare detailed construction drawings for building envelope rehabilitation and restoration projects, including roofing, glazing, cladding, waterproofing, and exterior wall assemblies.
  • Develop and maintain high-quality drafting standards, templates, and typical details that can be utilized across multiple projects.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers and project teams to translate design concepts into accurate construction documentation.
  • Revise and update drawings throughout all phases of a project, including design development, tendering, and construction.
  • Coordinate drawing packages with multiple disciplines to ensure consistency and accuracy.
  • Support project teams by preparing technical documentation and responding to drawing revisions throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Contribute to continuous improvements in drafting processes, standards, and quality.

What We're Looking For

  • Diploma or degree in Architectural Technology, Building Sciences, or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 2–5+ years of drafting experience, ideally focused on building envelope or architectural projects.
  • Strong understanding of building envelope systems, including roofing, cladding, glazing, waterproofing, air barriers, vapour barriers, and exterior wall assemblies.
  • Advanced AutoCAD skills with the ability to produce detailed construction drawings.
  • Familiarity with Bluebeam and Microsoft Office applications.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings with a high level of accuracy.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced consulting environment.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than a drafting role—it's an opportunity to become the firm's go-to technical resource for Building Envelope drafting. You'll work on a wide variety of rehabilitation and restoration projects while helping shape drafting standards and best practices for a growing engineering team. If you're looking to specialize in building envelope and grow your technical expertise with a collaborative consulting firm, we'd love to hear from you.
