s.no architecture
s.no architecture is a boutique firm located in Whitehorse, Yukon, currently in the process of expanding its team. We are seeking a Senior Intern Architect or Junior Architect who is versatile and can effectively handle various roles—an architectural Swiss Army Knife, so to speak. Ideal candidates will possess a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in a professional architecture office.
​
Our office environment is fast-paced, fun, flexible, and design-oriented. We engage in a wide range of projects, including mixed-use urban buildings, residential, commercial, and cultural projects across various scales. Although we aim to add skilled individuals to our team, we intend to maintain a small, close-knit, and integrated design office. With our current team consisting of five design professionals, every staff member is involved in all aspects of a project from its inception to completion. In our northern architecture firm, everyone is responsible for all aspects of the work, including documentation, architectural design, rendering, layout, graphic design, project management, and even office supply runs.
​
We take pride in making architecture accessible and enjoyable, while also highlighting its importance in our community. The happiness of our studio is of utmost importance.
​
The ideal candidate would be independent, self-motivated, and possess a positive attitude, while also being able to collaborate effectively within a tight-knit team environment. Strong passion for design and excellent written/visual communication skills are essential, as is intense attention to detail. Proficiency in Sketchup and AutoCAD is highly valued, and a comprehensive understanding of Revit is fundamental. Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and rendering visualization software (Twinmotion) would be advantageous. As a small firm, we require an individual who is comfortable stepping into any phase of a project and is eager to learn with support from our Principals.
