Summary

We’re looking for a talented Graphic Designer to join our Calgary‑based marketing team, for a temporary term of 18 months and the possibility of extension. This mid‑career to senior‑level role is ideal for someone who combines strong design fundamentals with the ability to translate complex, technical concepts into clear, compelling visual communications.

You’ll play a key role in shaping our brand across digital, print, and event channels, working closely with marketing, sales, and internal subject‑matter experts. In this role, you will contribute to creative strategy and help guide visual direction across campaigns and initiatives, not just execute predefined concepts.

Applicants that are invited to interview will be asked to submit a portfolio of recent design work that demonstrates relevant experience and creative capabilities.
