Help shape projects from first sketch to final site walk. ISL’s Landscape Architecture and Urban Design (LAUD) studio in Calgary is looking for a Junior Landscape Architectural Technologist who is eager to grow in a studio environment, strengthen technical skills, and contribute to projects that become real places in our communities.

You’ll join a 20+ person studio focused on landscape architecture, public realm, and site design across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. Our work spans parks, streetscapes, open spaces, mixed-use environments, and infrastructure projects that are design-led, technically rigorous, and rooted in context and long-term performance.

ISL is comprised of just over 600 employees comprised of award-winning engineers, technologists, planners, landscape architects, scientists, and much more that work together to deliver infrastructure projects that minimize environmental impacts and maximize benefits to the community.

Our Landscape Architecture and Urban Design studios are engaged from early concepts through construction. As a Junior Technologist, your focus will be on design and technical production—supporting coordinated drawing packages, helping keep project information organized, and assisting senior staff with construction-related tasks as part of your learning and development.

In this role, you will:

• Assist with base plans, site analysis drawings, and presentation materials.
• Support the preparation of design development, tender, and construction drawings, including plans, sections, details, planting plans, and schedules.
• Work within established CAD and digital standards to produce consistent, well-coordinated drawing packages.
• Support model and visualization workflows (as needed) using tools such as Sketch Up and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Coordinate information with project team members and other disciplines, helping ensure drawings and background files stay current.
• Support construction review and contract administration activities under the direction of senior staff, such as assembling site visit packages, organizing photos and notes, updating redlines, tracking deficiencies, and assisting with close-out documentation.
• Assist with shop drawing and submittal reviews, and help organize RFI and correspondence tracking, with oversight from senior staff.

• A studio environment where you work closely with landscape architects, designers, and fellow technologists.
• Mentorship, clear feedback, and opportunities to grow your technical production skills.
• Variety across project phases, from early drawing packages and design development through to tender and construction documentation.
• Occasional site exposure to better understand how drawings translate into built work, without being the person responsible for construction review outcomes.
