Here at DIALOG, we are passionate about design and believe it can and should meaningfully improve the wellbeing of our communities and the environment we all share.

We are a multi-disciplinary practice of architects, interior designers, urban designers and planners, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, landscape architects and sustainability experts who design for community wellbeing and urban vibrancy. We are a fun-loving bunch of big thinkers and city-shapers, who are collaborative in our approach, diverse in our perspectives, aspirational in our pursuits, and optimistic about what’s next. We’re always looking for passionate people who share our values and care as much about our communities as we do. We're proud to be a Certified B Corporation, and one of Canada's Greenest Employers, committed to using our design practice as a force for good in the world.

We’re currently looking for a motivated, energetic, and detail-oriented Mechanical Engineering Student to join our Vancouver studio for a 4 or 8-month work term beginning in September 2026.
