Job description

Being one of the larger privately-owned construction companies in North America, Reliance offers general contracting services in all aspects of project planning, execution, and delivery. Over the last year, we’ve grown continuously due to our employees’ performance, but mostly through their passion, focus, and determination. This expansion, however, has not let us forget that we are still a family-owned company established in 1948. Our presence in the construction industry for more than half a century has led us to an unparalleled understanding of the industry, allowing us to provide our clients with a sense of complete trust and confidence. They rely on us to complete a project they’ve envisioned, and we accept that responsibility to make it a reality.

The Role : Senior Project Manager

The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for the project’s administrative demands from pre-construction budgeting and scheduling all the way through to procurement, shop drawing / coordination development, construction, project turnover, and contract closeouts. The Senior Project Manager, along with all members of the project team, must collaborate to ensure the successful delivery of the project.

What You’ll Do :

• Lead the project team to ensure the project is completed within budget, finished on schedule, and conforms with the design documents.
• Assist the Project Director / Vice President in working with all departments including estimating, scheduling, procurement, labor relations, finance, accounting, and other services as required.
• Participate in developing project bidding strategy with the project team.
• Prepare scopes of work for each trade, assemble bid packages, and administer the tender process.
• Review and provide schedule information for bid documents.
• Participate in contract negotiations.
• Collaborate with the project Superintendent to develop a logistics plan that allows contractors to complete their work efficiently.
• Coordinate and integrate the activities of the project Superintendent, Assistant Project Managers, Project Coordinators, and other support staff.
• Establish priorities for the project staff based on owner and project requirements.
• Review and approve all major purchase orders, change orders, and contractor / vendor requisitions.
• Establish regularly scheduled meetings with contractors and the design team to review project progress.
• Identify any factory visits that may be required and schedule those meetings.
• Monitor contractor / vendor pending costs as reported by Reliance Construction.
• Ensure the cost report is updated monthly.
• Review and approve all project forecasts, schedules, cost estimates, and financial reports.
• Ensure the owner is apprised of all deviations from the project baseline data.
• Coordinate with the Project Director / Vice President on all client business-related contact / correspondences.
• Conduct monthly project / client meetings to review project progress and address any issues.
• Obtain approvals from the client for changes to the project.
• Prepare and submit the final project report and prompt closeout of the subcontracts.
• Obtain the client’s acceptance of the work and sign-off for the completed project.

What You’ll Need :

• Degree in Engineering, Architecture, or Construction Management, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum of ten (10) years of work experience in construction project management.
• Current WHMIS certification and fall protection training.
• Working knowledge of scope of work covered by contracts.
• Knowledge of construction, engineering, procurement, industry standards, and project-related activities.
• Management skills and administrative experience.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• We thank all applicants, but only those selected for further consideration will be contacted.
