Weekend Writing information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Writer, you need strong writing and editing skills, a solid grasp of grammar, and often a degree in journalism, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), SEO tools, and digital publishing platforms is typically required. Excellent time management, creativity, and the ability to work independently are standout soft skills for this position. These abilities ensure high-quality, engaging content is produced on tight deadlines, meeting audience and editorial needs over the weekend.

What are some common challenges writers face when working weekend writing shifts, and how can they be managed?

Weekend writing roles often require adapting to tight deadlines and rapid content turnaround, as news and trending topics can emerge unexpectedly. Writers may also have limited access to editors or collaborators outside standard business hours, making self-editing and time management crucial. To succeed, it's helpful to establish a clear workflow, proactively communicate with weekend team members, and utilize available digital collaboration tools. Embracing flexibility and developing strong self-motivation can help writers produce quality work even with less direct supervision.

What is weekend writing?

Weekend writing jobs are positions or freelance opportunities that specifically require writers to produce content during the weekends. These roles can include writing articles, blog posts, marketing materials, or other forms of written content for clients who need quick turnarounds or have weekend publishing schedules.

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
Don't meet every single requirement? We still encourage you to apply! We're looking for future DIALOGers who are eager to learn, bring unique perspectives, and want to make a real difference in the world-even if your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification.
 
Perks & Benefits
Parental leave top-up programs for all parents upon the birth or adoption of a child, RRSP matching, competitive medical and dental benefits coverage upon the first day of employment, discounted memberships, encouraged work/life balance with gifted time off during the holiday season and Vacation Buy-Up program, and reimbursement for professional memberships and dues are just a few of the benefits that DIALOGers enjoy.
