Senior Architectural Technologist

Venor is proud to partner with Fathom Studio in the search for a Senior Architectural Technologist to join their collaborative team in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. For more than 25 years, Fathom has built a distinctly interdisciplinary design practice bringing together architecture, landscape architecture, planning, urban design, graphic design, interpretive planning, and engineering under one roof. Rooted in Atlantic Canada, Fathom approaches projects through the lens of place—bringing different perspectives together to create thoughtful, meaningful spaces and communities.

What makes Fathom different is the opportunity to work beyond the boundaries of traditional architectural practice. Their studio brings designers, architects, planners, technologists, landscape architects, engineers, and other creative professionals together in a highly collaborative environment. For someone who enjoys great design but also cares deeply about how it gets built, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful voice in the process.

The Opportunity As Senior Architectural Technologist, you will play an important technical leadership role across Fathom's architectural portfolio, helping translate strong design ideas into coordinated, constructable solutions. Working closely with Project Architects, Principals, BIM leadership, consultants, and Fathom's broader interdisciplinary team, you will take the lead on complex Revit documentation, technical coordination, and quality while helping strengthen standards and mentor developing technologists. This is an opportunity for an experienced technologist who wants to do more than produce drawings. You'll have the ability to influence how projects are delivered, solve complex technical challenges, share your expertise, and help shape best practices across the studio.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the production and coordination of architectural construction documents across a diverse range of projects.
• Develop and manage complex Revit models, drawing packages, details, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate closely with Project Architects and interdisciplinary teams from design development through construction.
• Coordinate architectural documentation with consultants and other disciplines to create complete, integrated drawing packages.
• Review documentation for technical quality, coordination, constructability, and completeness.
• Provide technical guidance related to building systems, envelope design, detailing, accessibility, life safety, and code requirements.
• Identify coordination challenges early and work collaboratively to develop practical, buildable solutions.
• Mentor junior technologists and share technical knowledge, production standards, and best practices.
• Partner with BIM leadership to continuously improve digital workflows, Revit standards, and project delivery.
• Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews, technical reviews, and quality assurance.
• Support Project Architects and Contract Administrators in resolving technical challenges during construction.
• Contribute to the continued evolution of Fathom's technical standards, details, tools, and best practices.

What We're Looking For

• Diploma in Architectural Technology or equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
• Significant experience producing and coordinating construction documentation for institutional, commercial, residential, mixed-use, or similarly complex projects.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including experience managing complex models and construction documentation.
• Strong knowledge of building systems, building science, detailing, accessibility, life safety, and applicable building codes.
• Experience coordinating architectural work with multidisciplinary consultants within a BIM environment.
• Strong understanding of construction methods, detailing, sequencing, and constructability.
• Ability to review drawings and technical documentation, identify coordination or quality issues, and develop practical solutions.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience mentoring and supporting junior technologists within a collaborative environment.
• Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam Revu, BIM coordination tools, and related digital project delivery platforms is considered an asset.

Why Fathom?

Fathom offers something a little different from a conventional architecture firm. You'll join an interdisciplinary, design-focused studio where technical expertise is valued as an important part of the creative process. You'll work with talented people across multiple disciplines, contribute to interesting projects throughout Atlantic Canada, and can influence not only the technical delivery of individual projects but also how the studio continues to evolve its standards, systems, and approach. For a Senior Architectural Technologist who enjoys solving problems, collaborating with creative people, mentoring others, and seeing great ideas to become projects. Fathom offers the opportunity to make a real impact.
