• Technical Expertise: Demonstrated expertise with design-assist project delivery and familiarity with modular and precast construction systems. Solid understanding of structural and building systems common to multi-story residential projects.
• Project Coordination Skills: Strong knowledge of tendering, bidding, and procurement processes for construction. Ability to read and interpret architectural/engineering drawings and specifications, and proactively foresee construction challenges.
• Leadership & Communication: Excellent leadership skills with experience managing on-site construction teams and multiple subcontractors. Highly organized and detail-oriented, capable of coordinating many moving parts. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to effectively collaborate with clients, consultants, site staff, and executive leaders.
• Education: Post-secondary degree or diploma in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is preferred. Professional certifications (e.g. PMP, Gold Seal, or LEED AP) are an asset.
• Problem Solving & Initiative: Adept at problem solving and decision making in a fast paced environment. Committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement in all aspects of the project.
