Hello

About Me

My name is Yun Zhao, and everyone calls me Yun. I moved to Montréal from China in 2022.

Before moving to Canada, I built several years of technical experience in HVAC, plumbing, construction coordination, and project delivery in China. After completing a Québec DEP in building drafting, I gained my first full-time Québec drafting experience preparing architectural millwork shop drawings in AutoCAD.

My current career focus is HVAC / building mechanical drafting, where I can combine my previous mechanical systems experience with my Québec drafting background.

My Story

From 2000 to 2006, I worked with an HVAC installation contractor in Beijing, producing execution drawings for ventilation and air-conditioning systems and coordinating installation constraints with site teams.

From 2006 to 2013, I worked on the real-estate developer side in technical coordination for HVAC and plumbing systems on new construction projects. From 2013 to 2020, I moved into technical project management, coordinating architecture, structure, and building mechanical disciplines.

My family and I moved to Québec in 2022. I later completed a DEP – Dessin de bâtiment at Verdun Adult and Career Centre (VACC), in the Residential & Commercial Drafting program, with training in AutoCAD and Revit.

In 2026, I gained full-time Québec professional drafting experience at Groupe Laforest, preparing and revising architectural millwork shop drawings in AutoCAD for commercial projects. This experience strengthened my understanding of Québec drawing standards, review workflows, fabrication requirements, and installation coordination.

I am now focusing my job search on HVAC / building mechanical drafting, while keeping architectural millwork drafting as a complementary area of experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy photography, travel, and hiking, especially landscapes, architecture, and places with a strong sense of history.
