Job Title: UX/UI Designer, HCI & Interaction Design

Job Location: Hybrid (Toronto, ON)

Job Type: T4 Contract

Experience: 5+ Years

Rate: CAD 55 - 60 per hour

Role Summary: NearSource is seeking a UX/UI Designer with a strong background in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), user research, and interaction design to advance a research-driven platform for intelligent construction workflows. The role focuses on transforming complex project data into intuitive, adaptive, and trustworthy experiences for construction professionals across field and office environments.

The ideal candidate combines evidence-based design thinking with strong visual execution, advanced prototyping skills, and experience using AI-assisted design tools to accelerate research synthesis, concept development, and interface prototyping.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and conduct field research, including contextual inquiry, on-site observation, and interviews with construction professionals such as superintendents, project managers, field engineers, and trade partners.
  • Collaborate with the UX Research Lead to define research priorities, gather user insights, and establish evidence-based design direction.
  • Synthesize research findings into role-based communication approaches that define information needs, timing, presentation formats, and levels of detail.
  • Design interaction patterns and interfaces that adapt to the expertise and context of different users, including novice and expert workflows.
  • Lead UX and UI design for complex, data-rich applications involving 3D building models, linked project data, schedules, timelines, progress comparisons, video, drone capture, and knowledge graphs.
  • Design conversational and multimodal experiences that connect naturally with visual interfaces across field and office settings.
  • Develop clear interaction patterns for communicating system evidence, uncertainty, and confidence to support user trust and informed decisions.
  • Elevate the platform's visual consistency, usability, layout quality, and interaction standards to achieve presentation-ready demonstrations.
  • Conduct UI audits, identify usability and design-system gaps, and provide prioritized, actionable recommendations.
  • Create high-fidelity designs, interactive prototypes, component libraries, and implementation-ready specifications using Figma or similar tools.
  • Apply AI-assisted tools for research synthesis, concept exploration, and rapid prototyping, critically evaluating and refining generated outputs.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers to validate design feasibility, communicate design intent, and ensure accurate implementation.
  • Perform light front-end prototyping when it accelerates iteration and enables more effective design validation.
  • Define future UI direction, design-system standards, and recommendations that enable the internal team to continue platform development independently.

Initial Three-Month Scope

The initial engagement focuses on field research, interaction design, and improvements to the platform's research demonstrations.

  • Complete onboarding and review existing platform demonstrations, design files, and sample project data.
  • Develop a field research plan in collaboration with the UX Research Lead.
  • Conduct on-site research with industry partners to understand how construction teams access, share, interpret, and act on project information.
  • Synthesize research findings across project roles and translate them into actionable design recommendations.
  • Develop role-based communication approaches and interaction concepts grounded in observed user needs.
  • Create prototypes and review concepts with industry partners where possible.
  • Deliver UI refinements supporting Outcome Summit demonstrations.
  • Recommend priorities and future design initiatives for a potential contract extension.
