This is a hands-on role that combines design, technical detailing, client communication, and project coordination.

- Price projects and track profitability in collaboration with sales and operations
- Provide ongoing support and technical guidance to installers and site teams
- Follow up with prospective leads and schedule design consultations
- Assist in the design and development of new profiles, mouldings, catalog assets, and installation manuals
- Follow company SOPs and actively contribute ideas to improve our design and production processes
- Maintain timely communication with clients, team members, and leadership throughout each project lifecycle
Who You Are:
- Diploma or Degree in Architecture, Architectural Technology/Design, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in a professional setting working on custom residential or small commercial projects
- Expert-level proficiency in SketchUp (if you are not already highly proficient, this role is not a fit)
- Deep understanding of exterior cladding systems, detailing, and Ontario Building Code (especially Part 3 and Part 9)
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills - you're respectful, clear, responsive, and team-oriented
- Highly organized, self-driven, detail-focused, and solution-oriented
- Willingness to take initiative and jump in where needed to ensure projects are executed successfully

How to Apply:
Please send your resume and a brief cover letter outlining why you’re excited about this role and how your experience aligns with Styrok’s vision.
We encourage you to include portfolio samples that demonstrate your design and technical capabilities.
