Location: Toronto, ON

Start Date: Ideally early March

THE COMPANY

A highly respected and well established architecture practice is seeking an Architectural Project Coordinator to join their team and to work on a secure, high-profile federal government project currently underway in Toronto. This is a rare opportunity to be embedded full-time on a confidential public-sector project, working side-by-side with the project team, consultants, and client in a dedicated on-site project office.

THE ROLE

Reporting directly to the Project Manager on site, the Architectural Project Coordinator will act as a key support role within the project team — similar to a Project Manager Assistant — helping to manage information flow, documentation, schedules, and communication across all disciplines.

This position will be fully on-site for the duration of the project due to confidentiality and security requirements. Upon project completion, the role will transition to support other public-sector projects within the firm, with the flexibility of a hybrid and flexible model.

Key Responsibilities:

Support the Project Manager with day-to-day coordination of a confidential federal project

• Manage and track architectural project documentation across all stages

• Lead document control processes, including RFIs, shop drawings, site instructions, and payment documentation

• Coordinate information exchange between consultants, contractors, and internal teams in a secure environment

• Attend project meetings, prepare meeting minutes, and follow up on action items

• Assist with issuing drawings and deliverables, ensuring approvals, seals, and compliance requirements are met

• This role is best suited to someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and enjoys being deeply involved in the day-to-day coordination of complex architectural projects.

WHAT’S REQUIRED

• 2–7 years of relevant experience (Architectural, coordination, technologist, PM assistant, etc), with at least 2+ years working with Canadian construction practices and from within an Architecture firm or related

• Background in architecture or multidisciplinary design consulting — experience working within an architecture firm is strongly preferred

• Solid understanding of the design process and consultant coordination (this is not a construction-only project coordination role)

• Strong organizational, communication, and documentation skills

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office, ideally familiar with architectural software such as Revit

• Ability to work full-time on site for the duration of the project in Toronto

Security Requirement

• Active or eligible Security Clearance is required for this role

WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN

• Work on a rare, confidential federal government project

• Be embedded in a fully integrated on-site project team environment

• Gain hands-on experience supporting a senior Project Manager on a complex public-sector build

• Long-term opportunity beyond the project, with transition to other public projects and a flexible work model

• Competitive compensation + benefits
