Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Advisor

Alberta, Canada

Empowering Today, Shaping Tomorrow

Headquartered in Ottawa, Tiree is a well-established project management firm with over 25 years of experience delivering complex building infrastructure projects across both public and private sectors from inception to completion. Our mission is to empower our clients and teams to achieve unparalleled success by providing tailored, innovative consulting services—ensuring every project is executed with precision and impact.

But infrastructure is more than just projects—it’s about unlocking potential and creating lasting change. We foster an environment where people are supported, celebrated, and empowered to grow, learn, and achieve. Our culture fuels imagination, creativity, and bold thinking, and we see that reflected in both our work and the meaningful impact it has on our shared environment.

As we continue to grow our presence in the Alberta market, we’re building relationships with individuals who can help us deliver the high standard we’re known for.

The Role

We are seeking to connect with experienced professionals for anticipated Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) opportunities. While specific project requirements may evolve, these engagements are expected to support owners in planning, procuring, and delivering capital projects through IPD and other collaborative delivery models. These could include healthcare facilities, public-sector buildings, post-secondary and community facilities, and other complex infrastructure. Direct experience on IPD projects is strongly preferred, and experience with government or municipal clients is a strong asset.

You will act as a trusted advisor to owners and project teams, guiding the adoption of collaborative delivery practices and helping to build the aligned, high-performing teams that IPD depends on. Your work will support projects that achieve greater cost certainty, stronger value for the owner, and better outcomes for end users.

Important: Please note this opportunity is being offered as a consulting and/or fixed-term contract engagement and is not a permanent full-time employee position.

What You’ll Do

• Advise owners on project delivery model selection, IPD readiness, and the structure of collaborative agreements, including shared risk and reward
• Support the procurement and selection of IPD team partners, including design consultants, contractors, and key trade partners
• Guide teams through each phase of delivery, including the development and management of the project’s target cost and goals
• Establish and support governance structures that enable clear, collaborative decision-making across the owner, design, and construction teams
• Facilitate collaborative working sessions that build trust, alignment, and shared accountability across the team
• Support the use of Lean construction practices to improve planning, reliability, and value
• Monitor project performance, risk, and cost against targets, and translate progress into clear updates, recommendations, and reporting for owners and stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• Extensive experience in capital project delivery, including direct involvement in one or more IPD projects
• Experience with municipal, provincial, or broader public-sector clients considered a strong asset; experience with institutional, not-for-profit, private-sector, or public-private partnership owners is also highly valued
• Strong working knowledge of IPD principles and multi-party contracting
• Practical experience applying Lean construction practices in a project environment
• Understanding of target cost development, cost tracking, and shared risk and reward models
• Confident facilitator and communicator with the ability to build alignment among owners, designers, contractors, and trade partners
• Calm, solutions-focused advisor with the ability to coach teams through the cultural and behavioural shifts collaborative delivery requires
• Ability to work on-site at client and project sites across Alberta as required by project needs

Why This Role Matters

Integrated Project Delivery brings owners, designers, and builders together around shared goals, shared risk, and shared success. This role plays a key part in helping teams make that shift, supporting projects that deliver greater value, fewer surprises, and lasting benefits for the communities they serve.
