What is a contract writer?

Contract writers are professionals who specialize in drafting, reviewing, and editing legal agreements and contracts. They ensure that contracts are clear, legally sound, and tailored to the specific needs of the parties involved. Contract writers often work with businesses, law firms, or individuals to create documents for employment, sales, partnerships, and other agreements. Their expertise helps prevent misunderstandings and protects the interests of all parties by making sure the contract complies with relevant laws. They may also advise on contract terms and negotiate on behalf of their clients.

To thrive as a Contract Writer, you need strong legal writing skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of contract law, often supported by a degree in law, English, or a related field. Familiarity with document management systems, Microsoft Office Suite, and sometimes legal research tools like Westlaw or LexisNexis is typically required. Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills help set outstanding contract writers apart. These competencies are crucial for creating clear, enforceable agreements that protect the interests of all parties and minimize legal risk.

What are some common challenges contract writers face when working with multiple clients simultaneously?

Contract Writers often work with several clients at once, which can present challenges such as managing conflicting deadlines, adapting to different writing styles or brand voices, and balancing workload priorities. Staying organized with project management tools and maintaining clear communication with clients are essential to ensure timely delivery and consistent quality. Additionally, Contract Writers must be adept at quickly understanding new subject matter and client expectations, which helps them deliver tailored content efficiently.

Job description

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.

Are you passionate about building science? Do you have a knack for digging deep into technical details and product literature? Are you excited about innovating to design buildings that are functional and beautiful while minimizing their impact on the environment?
 
As a Specifier at DIALOG, you will be an integral part of our Practice-wide Specifications Team. This team is dedicated to coaching and mentoring you as you grow and develop in your role. You will work closely with Project Management leads, Job Captains, and project teams to prepare, execute, and manage the specification writing process, seeing your projects from beginning to end.
 
This role can be based in the Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto or Vancouver studio.
How you'll make a difference:
  • Collaborate and Advise: Be the point person for all things specifications; our Go To Person! Advise and guide architects and engineers, contract administrators and project managers, and out-of-house specialty consultants regarding project specific specifications and certain aspects of tendering and contracting procedures.
  • Leadership: Manage and lead specifications on a variety of projects. Mentor and coach more junior team members, and assist with the management of workloads and project deadlines for the specification group.
  • Expertise in Building Science: Maintain currency of specification writing skills, aspects of building science, contract law and product research. Be aware of and seek guidance in the preparation of documents for multiphased and nonconventional methods of contract delivery such as Design-Built, Construction Managed, or P3 projects.
  • Foster Relationships: Build effective working relationships with project managers and guide project teams on bidding and contracting procedures, including the preparation and administration of addenda and bid revisions.
  • Innovate and Create: Review, edit, and write architectural specifications, and work alongside other disciplines to prepare project documents.
  • Business Development: Participate in proposal development. Act as a DIALOG ambassador by presenting, publishing, and speaking publicly on research and technical innovation topics.
Who you are:
  • Experienced and Passionate: You have an aptitude for specifications and a passion for building science. Editing and writing specifications may have been a part of your regular work duties, or other equivalent experience gained through construction contract administration or project management through administration and interpretation of the specification.
  • Educated and Certified: You hold a degree in architecture or engineering, or a diploma in architectural technology. Certification or a desire to get certified as a Certified Specification Practitioner (CSP) or Registered Specification Writer (RSW) is an asset.
Additional assets that turn our heads:
  • Experience: Specification writing on projects of varying scale, typology and project delivery model; building science expertise; construction contract administration experience. 
  • Awareness: Knowledge of construction specification formats including MasterFormat, UniFormat and SectionFormat, and awareness of OmniClass and its role in BIM.
  • Green Thinking: Knowledge of sustainable products and construction techniques including cradle- to- grave issues, environmentally responsible building products, life cycle assessment methodology, and sustainable certification standards (LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge). 
  • Who You Know: Your experience within a large professional services organizations and contributions to sharing knowledge with your extended network.
$90,000 - $124,000 a year
At DIALOG, we believe compensation should reflect the unique talent each person brings to our team. We look at annual market data to understand how different roles are compensated in our industry, but we also recognize that your experience, skills, location, and the impact you make all play a part in shaping your total rewards. Because of this, final offers may differ from the ranges listed - we want to make sure everyone is recognized in a manner that is fair, competitive, and true to the value they bring.
