Job description

On behalf of a top-tier global general contractor, we are seeking a talented Construction Superintendent to manage field operations for a high-value project portfolio in Etobicoke. This position is specifically focused on high-consequence construction environments, prioritizing candidates with a strong blend of ICI (Industrial/Commercial/Institutional) and Data Center/Mission Critical infrastructure experience.

As a Superintendent, you will lead daily site activities, coordinate trade contractors, and direct Self-Perform Operations (SPO) crews. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a business that delivers North America's most technically demanding infrastructure while offering structured career development and comprehensive employee benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Field Management & Sequencing: Direct all daily on-site construction activities, ensuring complex trade sequencing aligns with the master project schedule.

• Subcontractor & SPO Coordination: Supervise third-party subcontractors and oversee Self-Perform Operations (SPO) teams, monitoring daily performance, workforce levels, and material logistics.

• Safety Leadership: Implement and enforce strict site-specific health and safety programs, executing Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and maintaining a zero-harm site culture.

• Technical Compliance: Interpret detailed structural, architectural, and complex MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) drawings to ensure all Work-in-Place (WIP) meets rigorous design specifications.

• Progress Tracking & Validation: Measure weekly trade production metrics, manage material deliveries, and verify monthly estimates of completed work for payment applications.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Field Tenure: Minimum of 4+ years of active field supervision experience as a Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent within the Canadian commercial or industrial market.

• Project Sector Fit: Distinct exposure to ICI projects, with a strong preference for individuals who have worked on Data Centers, pharmaceutical facilities, heavy telecom hubs, or similarly complex mission-critical environments.

• Technical & Lean Competence: Solid working knowledge of construction engineering principles, field layouts, scheduling, and Lean Construction methods (such as the Last Planner System).

• Local Regulations: Deep familiarity with local Ontario Building Codes, Ministry of Labour (MOL) safety standards, and OHSA regulations.

• Education: A Bachelor's degree or diploma in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or an equivalent combination of trade experience and Gold Seal Certification (GSC).

Desired Skills and Experience

• 4+ years of dedicated field supervision experience as a Construction Superintendent on ICI or industrial developments.

• Documented experience working on high-tech, complex infrastructure such as Data Centres, mission‑critical environments, or heavy industrial builds.

• Direct experience supervising trade labor, subcontractors, and managing Self-Perform Operations (SPO) workflows.

• Experienced in developing and managing jobsite safety programs, JHAs, and maintaining compliance with Ontario Ministry of Labour regulations.

• High technical capacity to interpret and resolve conflicts within complex structural, architectural, and MEP blueprints.

• Background in utilizing Lean Construction frameworks and production tracking to maintain strict critical path timelines.

• Degree/Diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or holding a Gold Seal Certification (GSC) is highly valued.
