Jayden Schmidt

Structural Designer | B.A.Sc.
Cyclist, Seahawks fanatic, wanna-be woodworker, puzzle enthusiast, Star Wars geek

Born and raised in Abbotsford, BC, Jayden was always fascinated by the built world and the inner workings of how structures are created. Moving to Vancouver to pursue a B.A.Sc. in Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia, he felt an admiration for structural design and sustainable construction methods, especially with mass timber.

Prior to joining Aspect, Jayden completed several co-op positions at local firms, in the areas of building restoration and structural restoration. These experiences provided an appreciation for problem solving, project management, and the value of collaboration. After being introduced to the exciting world of mass timber at UBC, Jayden jumped at the opportunity to join Aspect as a structural engineering intern for his final co-op. Upon graduation in 2023, he rejoined Aspect full-time. He is excited to practice his skills and pursue knowledge in a field that puts sustainability at the forefront of design.

Outside of the office, Jayden spends most of his time on his road bike, exploring the abundance of beautiful rides around the city. In 2019, he joined his family on a cross Canada bike trip with the opportunity to see the country at a (much) slower pace. Other hobbies include nerding out on the Star Wars universe, overanalyzing NFL stats, or diving into a puzzle.
