Job summary

Paramount Management leads major construction in Halifax, guiding projects from mobilization to turnover. You manage scope, schedule, cost, safety and quality on two 30-storey towers and heritage restorations, with a leadership role reporting to the President and CEO.

You will own preconstruction handover, RFIs, trade packages, and ensure cross-functional teams work toward schedule integrity and cost-to-complete targets across on-site operations.

Qualifications

• Ten or more years leading multi-residential construction, including high-rise delivery in a senior, accountable role.
• Schedule and budget you owned on projects of $50 million or more.
• OHS leadership and working knowledge of Nova Scotia safety law: you run the safety system.
• Credibility with superintendents and project managers alike.
• Commercial discipline on contracts, changes and forecasting, and the habit of documenting first.
• A quality obsession, because we keep what we build, and a teacher's instinct: you build people and systems, not just buildings.

Responsibilities

• Delivery of each project from mobilization through commissioning, closeout and turnover, including recovery plans when the schedule slips.
• Project costs, commitments and the monthly cost-to-complete forecast you report to the CEO.
• Site safety: the safety program, OHS compliance and the authority to stop work when safety is at risk.
• The site team: the Project Manager and the General Site Superintendent report to you and work as peers.
• Contracts, changes and trade performance, with every trade held to the same standard, including our self-perform trades.
• Quality, deficiency closeout, the warranty plan and a clean turnover to our property management team.
