• Contract Duration: 2 years
• Work Location: Calgary, AB / Hybrid
• This role may involve site visits
Advantages
• Large-Scale Portfolio Exposure: Managing a massive 1.5 million square foot portfolio gives you a high-profile resume builder and experience handling complex, enterprise-level facilities.
• Cutting-Edge Human-Centric Design: This role goes beyond basic layout design by actively focusing on modern workplace trends like neurodiversity considerations, universal accessibility, and wellness standards.
• End-to-End Ownership: You won't just be drawing plans; you will get to own the full lifecycle of the projects—from the initial creative concept and budgeting all the way to final installation and quality assurance.
• Cross-Functional Networking: Because this role acts as a primary technical resource collaborating with engineering, IT, and external vendors, it provides unparalleled professional exposure to cross-functional industry leaders.
Responsibilities
• Design Documentation & Space Planning: Create all relevant construction and furniture documentation across all project stages, translating high-level concepts and user requirements into detailed spatial layouts.
• Standards Application: Apply established brand standards and specifications to ensure cost-effective execution, visual consistency, and alignment with the functional and operational requirements of the space.
• Quality Assurance & Compliance: Champion a culture of quality by conducting regular audits and site visits to ensure projects adhere to corporate standards, building codes, and safety regulations.
• Stakeholder Management: Uphold stakeholder relationships by ensuring design solutions address the unique business needs of a financial institution, including operational security, client confidentiality, and seamless service.
• Project Logistics & Troubleshooting: Monitor individual project timelines and quality standards while navigating technical challenges to mitigate project-level risks.
Qualifications
• Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field, paired with 3–5 years of experience in workplace design.
• Software Proficiency: Significant progressive experience in design execution and production, with specific proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit to produce precise design plans, detailed drawings, and technical specifications.
• Retail Financial Design Application: Ability to apply retail financial design principles to ensure spatial layouts prioritize user well-being, ergonomics, and intuitive navigation while balancing critical banking requirements (including line-of-sight security, acoustic privacy, and frictionless transaction flows).
• Human-Centric Design: Ability to integrate empathy-led design principles—such as universal accessibility, neurodiversity considerations, and wellness standards—into technical drawings.
• Conceptual Translation & Problem-Solving: Ability to transform business objectives and brand goals into physical environments while confidently evaluating options and making sound technical decisions.
• Communication & Adaptability: Proven capacity to build rapport with stakeholders, convey complex design information clearly, and embrace evolving organizational priorities.
