This is a full-time, in-office role in Edmonton, ideal for mechanically inclined professionals with strong site experience who are ready to transition into construction administration, or for early-career CAs looking to deepen their technical and field exposure with mentorship and support.

The Role

As a Construction Administrator, you’ll play a critical role during construction, acting as the connective tissue between design, site execution, contractors, and clients. You’ll bring a practical, solutions-focused mindset to the field, ensuring mechanical systems are installed correctly, issues are addressed early, and projects move forward with clarity and confidence.

This role offers hands-on exposure to construction-phase engineering, with guidance from experienced designers and project managers. Prior construction administration experience is an asset, but not a requirement - strong mechanical field experience and a willingness to learn matter most.

• Attend regular site meetings to review progress, resolve issues, and coordinate next steps
• Prepare clear, written site review and inspection reports outlining deficiencies, progress items, and follow-up actions

Technical Oversight

• Identify non-conformance or coordination issues early and escalate as required
• Witness and document testing, commissioning, and equipment start-ups

Documentation & Coordination

Review and coordinate:

• As-built drawings
• Record drawings prior to CAD processing
• Coordinate site instructions and change notices between contractors and design teams
• Review and approve progress draws

Project Closeout

Support project closeout activities, including:

• Record drawings
• Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals
