Live to Build

Construction Project Manager

$110,000 to $130,000 CAD per year + bonus

Location: Toronto, ON (Greater Toronto Area)

Live To Build is growing, and we're looking for a Construction Project Manager who wants to own their projects, build lasting client relationships, and be part of a team that takes real pride in the craft of construction.

You will help lead projects from pre-construction through closeout, bringing clarity to budgets, documentation, communication, and execution at every step. The central focus of this role is to create an exceptional client experience through professional and consistent communication, excellent attention to detail, and ensuring projects stay organized and well-managed from start to finish.

Live To Build is a Toronto-based construction company specializing in thoughtful renovations and custom homes, with particular expertise in restoring century-old properties.

Our Core Values

We do what we say: by keeping our word and following through

We think like a client: by listening, supporting, and building confidence

We own the outcome: by taking responsibility and finding solutions

We work with purpose: showing care and pride in every detail

We build it right: never cutting corners and ensuring quality

Pre-Construction

• Assist with building clear, detailed estimates, scopes of work, and proposals that clients understand and trust
• Review trade bid packages, leveling sheets, scope comparisons, and procurement plans
• Identify scope gaps, risk items, and coordination issues early before they become site or budget problems
• Help ensure selections, drawings, and consultant information are organized well enough to support clean execution

Project Execution (Start to Finish)

• Lead project management from kickoff through closeout, including planning, sequencing, inspections, quality control, and coordination with the Site Supervisor
• Maintain current budgets, commitments, cost to complete forecasts, and financial reporting across active projects
• Track client decisions, RFIs, site issues, and scope changes with strong documentation and follow-through
• Prepare pricing for additional work or scope changes during construction, and convert approved pricing into clear change orders before extra work proceeds
• Coordinate designers, architects, engineers, trades, and suppliers to keep projects moving efficiently
• Walk active sites confidently, spot issues early, work closely with the Site Super and trades, and elevate risks with solutions before they become bigger project or client issues

Client & Partner Leadership (High Touch)

• Be the primary point of contact: calm, clear, professional, and confident with clients, trades, and professional partners
• Lead regular weekly client meetings with strong preparation, documented follow-up, and clear next steps
• Maintain weekly visibility on budget, commitments, pending costs, and forecast to complete across active projects
• Help clients make informed decisions by clearly communicating cost, schedule, and scope impacts
• Address concerns early, reduce friction, and bring structure to complex conversations

Closeout

• Lead punch list completion, deficiencies, and final client walkthroughs
• Ensure project files, closeout documents, and outstanding decisions are fully organized and complete
• Own warranty follow-up with urgency, professionalism, and strong record-keeping
• Ensure the project finishes with a high standard of care, clarity, and accountability

Who Thrives Here

You bring an owner's mindset to the role. You are accountable, organized, steady under pressure, and able to see the big picture without losing sight of the details. You care about doing things properly, communicating clearly, and creating a better experience for clients, trades, and consultants. You are strong with budgets, documentation, and follow-through, and you also have the presence to lead meetings, solve problems, and keep projects moving.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of residential construction project management experience, ideally in custom homes, major renovations, or additions in the GTA
• Proven ability to manage budgets, forecast costs to complete, and maintain disciplined change-order control
• Strong plan reading, scope review, trade coordination, takeoff, and procurement skills
• Strong client-facing communication skills with the judgment to handle difficult conversations calmly and professionally
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with reports, documentation, and project tracking systems
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with estimating/PM tools is an asset (Planswift, Fieldwire, Bluebeam, Buildwise or similar)
• Valid Ontario Class G driver's licence and ability to travel to GTA job sites
• Field fluency and practical construction knowledge are assets

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of $110,000 to $130,000 CAD per year (DOE)
• Pay is given at an hourly rate of $50-60 CAD per hour.
• Mileage or vehicle allowance
• Company phone allowance
• Paid vacation & stat holidays (meets Ontario ESA)
• Professional development support and future leadership growth opportunities
• Full-time weekday schedule, with flexibility based on project needs
