Lead Designer

This is a unique opportunity to join our talented team and be part of Primero’s growth and success. Primero is an Australian-founded company, established in 2011 and growing consistently in Montreal since 2016. We expanded into Houston in 2022 and Toronto in 2023, strengthening our North American presence. We specialize in the design, procurement, and construction management of mineral processing plants. As a Lead Designer, you will be responsible for leading design and drafting activities on assigned projects, with a focus on plant layout and mechanical design deliverables. Working closely with engineering leads, this role provides technical guidance and coordination to the design team within the project, while actively contributing to layouts, 3D models, and 2D drawings. The Lead Designer ensures consistency, quality, and adherence to standards across all deliverables, and supports the team in meeting project timelines. Within the project structure, the Lead Designer acts as the design lead for assigned projects, providing day-to-day direction to designers assigned to the project. This role includes functional leadership within the project team, but does not include formal people management responsibilities. This role is primarily hands-on, combining design execution with project-level coordination and technical support. The role operates under a hybrid work model, combining regular in-office presence with remote work and occasional in-person client meetings. The Project Development Manager reports directly to the Principal Designer.
