We are looking for two creative, collaborative and talented architects to join our team.

We have an opening for a Project Architect with 5-10 years experience, and an opening for a Junior or Intermediate Intern Architect with 2-4 years experience.

Our work environment is collaborative, fast-paced and multi-faceted. We work in small teams on multiple projects.

We value the range and diversity of work that our clients trust us to deliver and we are looking for colleagues that will enjoy the variety, independence and responsibility that comes with these opportunities.

Junior team members have opportunities to work on all phases of design as well as construction phase services. We believe that it is important for all staff to have the opportunity to participate in the full design and construction process and to support the OAA Intern process.

Project Architects are responsible for design leadership, guidance to the client, and consultant coordination over the life of a project. Our work includes a wide range of scales and several building types so nimbleness and attention to detail is key. Project architects are always supported by senior staff. Independent thinking and the ability to manage multiple tasks and responsibilities is highly valued.

Our work focuses on public sector projects, high tech environments and critical infrastructure, healthcare and research environments including power and data projects, hospital planning and design, laboratories, pharmacies, as well as specialized industrial type buildings.

These environments reward careful thinking and a detail oriented and collaborative approach to design. Our clients and our engineering partners are top tier collaborators and represent the very best in class.

We are located in downtown Toronto near Bathurst and Queen in an old industrial brick and beam building. The work environment is open and friendly (with great windows). We offer a flexible and hybrid in office/remote work arrangement. Salaries are commensurate with experience. Overtime beyond a regular 37.5 hours per week is paid.
