A major project with high-profile delivery by a team with a track record for success. It requires security clearance, it will be watched closely, and can earn the accolades and rewards that come with it. For the Project Director who leads it, it is positioned to open a pipeline of meaningful work and success here builds a great resume and legacy in the Toronto Construction market.

Behind it is a family-led national contractor with more than half a century of major building, civil and industrial work across Canada. Its leadership has deep building roots and a national growth plan already well under way, with Ontario home to some of its most significant work today.

About You

The successful candidate will have the following:

• You lead at the scale of a major project. Experience directing large building projects, where the right team structure matters as much as the schedule
• Partnership comes naturally to you. You’ve led within a collaborative environment, aligned partners with different cultures and systems, and kept one team pulling in one direction
• You’re trusted in the room. High-profile owners, government stakeholders and public attention don’t change how you lead; they sharpen it
• You’re eligible to obtain security clearance. You’re comfortable leading within the protocols a project like this demands
• You build leaders as you build projects. Project Managers, Superintendents and Coordinators leave your projects ready for their next step up
• You want your next project to define the decade ahead

About the Job

Picture yourself directing a landmark project from early stages to handover, as the senior leader the owner and the market look to. Delivered well, it’s the kind of project that can elevate a career.

• A marquee project. Few, if any precedents, in Canada
• A pipeline behind it. A project that runs for several years to come, a busy pipeline, and success here is positioned to open even more meaningful work that follows, with you at the front of it
• Leadership with building in its DNA. A senior team with deep building roots, invested in Ontario, and close enough to the work to know you by name
• National strength, family values. The stability and technical depth of a billion-dollar-plus national contractor, run on the quality, respect and integrity it was founded on
• Growth that’s already happening. A deliberate national growth plan, well under way, with room for the people who deliver its biggest projects to grow with it

Please note that all candidates must be permitted to work in Canada to be considered for this opportunity.
