Architectural Technologist at Elevation Capital — NeverHard

WHAT YOU’LL DO The Architectural Technologist is responsible for translating ambitious design vision into coordinated, buildable, and technically sound solutions across a portfolio of luxury and custom projects. Working on the owner/developer side, this role sits at the intersection of design and execution—ensuring that projects are delivered with precision, speed, and uncompromising quality. You will support the planning, coordination, and execution of complex builds, often involving remote or logistically challenging environments, bespoke design elements, and elevated construction standards. You will work closely with architects, consultants, and construction teams to resolve technical challenges, align design intent with real-world constraints, and maintain momentum across aggressive timelines. This role requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to operate in high-expectation environments where standard approaches are often insufficient. This is not a passive production role. It is an execution-focused position requiring ownership of drawing quality, coordination, and constructability across projects that demand a higher level of rigor than typical residential development. WHO YOU ARE Execution-Focused – You take ownership of deliverables and ensure things get built correctly. Technically Strong – You bring deep experience detailing complex building systems and assemblies. Luxury-Oriented – You understand the level of precision and coordination required in custom / high-end residential work. Driver of Alignment – You actively force clarity across architects, engineers, and contractors, resolving conflicts quickly and ensuring everyone is moving toward the same outcome. Detail-Driven – You care about how things are built, not just how they look. Calm Under Pressur e – You perform in fast-moving environments with aggressive timelines.

Assist in evaluating alternative layouts for efficiency, constructability, cost optimization, and marketability. Technical Design & Construction documentation Produce high-quality architectural drawings using Revit and/or AutoCAD including floor plans, elevations, sections, wall details, and schedules. Convert design concepts into fully coordinated construction drawings suitable for tender, permit, and construction. Building code & Compliance Coordination Apply relevant provisions of the BC Building Code and municipal bylaws in documentation. Support code analysis related to fire separation, occupancy, egress, accessibility, and energy compliance. Assist in preparing permit submissions and responding to municipal comments. Consultant Coordination Coordinate architectural drawings with structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, geotechnical, and building envelope consultants. Identify and resolve drawing conflicts using class detection and RFI processes. Constructability & Value Optimization Review designs through a builder’s lens focusing on buildability, sequencing, cost efficiency, and standardization. Support value engineering and development of repeatable details for future projects. Construction Support Phase Assist Construction and Project Management teams with shop drawing reviews, as-builts, field clarifications, and RFI’s. Participate in select site visits as required. Digital Model & Document Management Maintain organized BIM models and drawing sets. Manage revisions, addenda, and drawing issuance records.
