Partner - Construction, Engineering & Operations

Venor has partnered with Iron Maple Constructors to hire a Superintendent to drive the successful execution of projects across Atlantic Canada. This is a dynamic opportunity to join a collaborative team that values pride in workmanship, long-term partnerships, and collective success.

Iron Maple Constructors is a general contracting firm built on a foundation of integrity, experience, and collaboration. Owned by four seasoned industry veterans—Durck deWinter, Rene Cox, Ian Boyd, and Jim Brennan—Iron Maple brings together over 100 years of combined construction expertise. With offices in Dartmouth, NS, and Sussex, NB, they serve the Atlantic Canadian region with a steadfast commitment to quality, safety, and innovation.

At Iron Maple, team members aren’t just employees — they’re valued partners in a shared vision. The company cultivates a collaborative culture where individuals work closely alongside the ownership group, with every team member empowered to make meaningful contributions to Iron Maple’s success. Reflecting this commitment to shared growth, Iron Maple recently launched an Employee Share Ownership Program (ESOP), providing full-time employees with a unique opportunity to become shareholders and actively participate in the company’s ongoing success and future direction.

What you’ll be doing:

• Overseeing and organizing all on-site project activities, including both self-performed and subcontracted work.
• Ensuring that construction projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in line with Iron Maple’s quality and safety standards.
• Leading on-site teams by fostering a collaborative and efficient work environment that motivates team members and subcontractors.
• Acting as the primary site liaison, coordinating effectively with clients, consultants, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
• Championing safety by enforcing company safety protocols and fostering a culture of accountability.
• Managing day-to-day site activities, including scheduling, quality control, and progress reporting.
• Traveling as needed to project locations across Atlantic Canada.

What we are looking for:

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years’ experience working as a Superintendent with a General Contractor in the industrial, commercial, institutional (ICI), or multi-tenant residential sectors. They will possess strong leadership and organizational skills, with a demonstrated ability to independently manage all phases of construction projects—from contract award to successful handover. Effective communication and a collaborative, team-first mindset is essential, as is the ability to build and maintain positive relationships with stakeholders.

A solid understanding of construction methods, combined with a commitment to delivering high-quality, safe outcomes, is key to success in this role. Familiarity with the Atlantic Canada construction market is important, along with a willingness and ability to travel as needed for project assignments across the region. Proficiency with construction technology is expected, and experience with Procore is considered a strong asset. Gold Seal Certification would be a valuable addition.

At Venor and Iron Maple Constructors, we embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, what you believe in, or who you love, we welcome your application. We all come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, bringing in unique perspectives and experiences. We encourage applications from 2SLGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), women, newcomers to Canada, and people with disabilities.

Join Iron Maple and play a key role in shaping high-quality, impactful projects that stand the test of time. If you’re ready to take the next step in your construction career and be part of a company that values integrity, teamwork, and craftsmanship — we want to hear from you.
