  • Own assigned projects from award through closeout across commercial, residential, and envelope/restoration work, not a single project type on repeat
  • Serve as the main point of contact for clients and consultants directly, not filtered through an account layer
  • Manage budgets, cost forecasts, and cash flow, and call the corrective action yourself when a number moves
  • Tender and negotiate subcontractor and supplier contracts; manage change orders, RFIs, and submittals
  • Coordinate directly with site superintendents and field staff so drawings and specs actually hold on site
  • Carry safety and code compliance, Ontario OHSA and municipal permitting, as your responsibility, not someone else’s checklist

About You
The successful candidate will have the following:

  • 5+ years running commercial and/or residential construction projects, with real budget and schedule accountability, not just reporting on them
  • Comfortable reading the Ontario Building Code and CCDC contract forms without needing someone to translate them
  • Has negotiated with subcontractors and suppliers directly and knows which ones actually deliver
  • Building envelope or restoration exposure is a strong asset, not a requirement
  • PMP or Gold Seal certification, or working toward one, helps but isn’t a gate
  • Ready to stop specializing in one project type and start owning a varied pipeline

About the Job

  • A quick note on what's on offer beyond compensation:
  • A project mix that spans three real service lines instead of one, with genuine range in the day-to-day work
  • Direct client relationships and full accountability from award to closeout, not a role boxed in by layers above you
  • A team structure built to support Project Managers on-site, not leave them exposed when something goes sideways
  • Competitive salary ranging from $100,000 to $120,000 with performance-based bonus potential, full health and dental benefits, and a vehicle allowance or mileage reimbursement for site travel
