ACCIONA is a global company, leading in the development of regenerative infrastructure that creates a positive impact on society. Our workforce consists of more than 65,000 professionals, present in more than 40 countries across the five continents, all contributing in our mission to design a better planet. Are you a passionate individual who wants to make a difference, promote sustainable development, and find solutions to the biggest global challenges including climate change, overpopulation, and water scarcity? Come and join us in building the infrastructure our planet needs to achieve a sustainable future. We have successfully delivered large infrastructure projects across Canada since 2001. Our leadership and expertise span the entire value chain from research and development through construction, operation and maintenance of projects. Currently involved in some of Canada’s largest infrastructure projects, ACCIONA delivers solutions that contribute to the economic and social progress of the communities in which it operates. www.acciona.ca ACCIONA is a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, delivering innovative, forward-thinking solutions in over 40 countries. We’re proud to be shaping some of the most complex and transformative infrastructure projects in North America.

In partnership with Metrolinx, ACCIONA is playing a key role in the design and construction of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE), a 9.2-kilometre westward addition to Toronto’s Line 5 light rail transit network. This major infrastructure project includes seven new stations and installation of rail and systems under a progressive design-build model. Beyond its technical scope, the ECWE project represents a significant investment in sustainable urban mobility, expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5,800 tonnes annually and eliminate over 6.5 million vehicle trips each year when combined with the full Line 5. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team on a complex, high-value project that supports long‑term regional growth and environmental sustainability.

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and advance your career with a global infrastructure leader, we encourage you to apply and grow with us. The Architectural Construction Project Manager is responsible for the end‑to‑end delivery of architectural scope across transit stations and associated facilities as part of a major rail infrastructure project delivered by Trillium Rail Partners (TRP). This role oversees all architectural construction activities including interior and exterior finishes, building envelope systems, passenger areas, back‑of‑house spaces, and ancillary structures, ensuring high‑quality execution aligned with design intent, operational requirements, and passenger experience standards. Working within a complex design‑build environment, the role leads coordination between architectural design teams, construction teams, and MEP/rail systems stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and delivery from construction through commissioning and handover.

Project Delivery & Leadership

• Exterior façade and cladding systems
• Roofing and waterproofing systems
• Doors, frames, hardware, and access control interfaces
• Passenger-facing areas and circulation spaces

Ensure architectural works meet durability, maintainability, and passenger experience requirements.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

Quality, Safety & Compliance

Ensure architectural works comply with building codes, accessibility standards, fire/life safety requirements, and project specifications. Enforce quality control processes including inspections, mock‑ups, and material approvals. Promote safe work practices across all architectural construction activities.

Testing, Commissioning & Handover

Support integration of architectural scope during testing and commissioning phases. Oversee completion of deficiencies, punch lists, and close‑out activities.
