Job description

Our client is an established Design Build construction firm that has been in existence for over 30 years. They have a considerable portfolio of projects in the commercial and light industrial sectors. The company operates across Ontario and Alberta and has an increasing presence locally here in BC. They see considerable opportunities locally and as such they have plans to follow their clients and establish a permanent presence here in the Lower Mainland. Much of the work undertaken is for blue chip repeat clients and includes offices, data centers, self-storage facilities, care homes and retail with values up to $50m. The company also undertakes smaller Tenant Improvement and capital projects.

You will support a senior member of the team managing a large commercial project located in Richmond while also having the opportunity to manage some smaller TI projects independently yourself. Despite being an established company nationally, they maintain an entrepreneurial spirit and you will gain broader experience than working for a typical General Contractor. The Junior PM will operate on a hybrid work schedule. You will have the flexibility to split your time between a project site in Richmond and working from home.

Ideally candidates for consideration will have a relevant technical education such as BCIT ABET program or Engineering. You will have 3-5 years’ experience as a Project Coordinator with a GC locally. Equally important is a desire to learn and perform at a high level. We need someone with excellent communication skills and a genuine enthusiasm for the construction sector.

In exchange for your hard work and commitment you will have the opportunity to be mentored by an industry expert that takes pride in investing time and developing junior staff. Over time the vision is that the person will develop into a bona fide PM role. You will have the opportunity to spend time on site and benefit from all the learning that it provides while also having the flexibility to spend half your week working from home. You will earn a salary of between $70-90K (commensurate with experience) plus you will also receive a discretionary bonus, generous vacation, personal days and extended health and benefits.
