- Building envelope engineers and design consultants.
- Residential unit owners and tenants - manage notices, access, satisfaction, and unit sign-offs.
Supervise the site team including the Superintendent, Foreman, and a virtual project coordinator.
Provide guidance and direction to virtual engineers and internal departments (Safety, Finance, Estimating, HR).
Ensure issues on-site are escalated and resolved efficiently.
Leverage SiteMax (with support from a virtual coordinator) for managing reports, RFIs, submittals, and meeting documentation.

Ability to read construction drawings and coordinate with engineers.
Proficiency in SiteMax or other project management tools (hands-on data entry not required).

Soft Skills:

Outstanding communication and stakeholder management.
Leadership, negotiation, and decision-making abilities.
Empathy and professionalism when working with residents and client-side representatives.
Time management and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

Compensation & Perks:

Salary: $90,000-$100,000 annually.
Performance-based bonuses and incentives tied to project milestones.
Health & dental coverage through premium Sun Life benefits.
Career progression opportunities - take on greater responsibility and increased compensation as you grow.
