• Full ownership of construction delivery for the Greater Vancouver office: an established team and a steady flow of fast-turn ICI projects, mostly under $5M
• A mandate, supported by the SLT, to roughly double the district’s annual volume, earned through delivery clients notice rather than cold calls
• Two new Project Managers joining the Vancouver team now, and you’ll lead them as they land
• Interior and fit-out work in occupied high-rise buildings, where coordinating with landlords, tenants and building management is half the job
• Regular time in front of clients: interviews, presentations, and the conversations that decide who gets the next project
• Reporting into national leadership, with oversight of Western Canada to follow as the region grows

About You

The successful candidate will have the following:

• You know the Lower Mainland sub-trade and consultant bench well enough to know who still answers the phone on a Friday afternoon
• You’re a hands‑on leader who is not beyond rolling up your sleeves to do any job or task
• You can walk into a client interview, present the team and the plan, and leave with the room on side
• You’ve led Project Managers and Superintendents, not just worked beside them
• Local relationships help. A business development background doesn’t matter; nobody is handing you a sales quota

About the Job

This search is confidential. Beyond the compensation, here’s what’s on offer:

• Building a region rather than inheriting one, with the mandate written down from day one
• A leadership group with decades of tenure that backs its people when a job gets hard
• Real hiring momentum: the team is growing while you’re walking in, not after you’ve made the case for it
• A defined line from leading a city to leading a region
• Competitive base plus a bonus structure tied to performance
