• 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

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
