Our client is a venture capital company with investments in different verticals. The CEO has global real estate interests and is looking to develop his properties. He enjoys building in remote, nature-filled locations.

We are looking for a VP of Construction to join their team. This person will primarily focus on a project off the coast of Vancouver Island.. This project includes multiple all-season yurts, an A-frame lodge, custom infrastructure (solar / generator, septic, heli-pad), and trail / utility installation. At the same time, this individual will also manage projects in Arizona, the Midwest and the Bahamas.

We are looking to hire a VP of Construction with experience building luxury properties in remote and off-grid environments. This individual will lead end-to-end execution of a multi-phase global real estate vision focused on creating resilient, high-design retreats in remote and coastal environments. Reporting directly to the Operating Partner and working closely with the Founder, you will build and lead the project execution function — managing site-level construction, hiring and developing a high-performance PM team, and coordinating design, permitting, infrastructure, and building out across diverse sites.

This position can be located anywhere across Canada, ideally somewhere in the Province of BC, as long as the individual has applicable experience and can travel to sites as needed.

Responsibilities :

• Lead full-cycle execution of multiple design-build development projects, including off-grid, modular, and coastal luxury sites
• Build and manage a team of project managers and coordinators, assigning projects based on specialization and location
• Directly oversee project phases from scope and design coordination through permitting, infrastructure, vertical construction, and closeout
• Coordinate infrastructure development including power systems, marine access, water / septic, and site-level utilities
• Drive budget discipline — tracking costs, evaluating vendor contracts, and adjusting scope as needed to preserve value
• Implement project controls, reporting systems, and execution workflows to ensure schedule visibility and issue escalation
• Serve as the senior development liaison to architects, engineers, consultants, and permitting authorities across multiple jurisdictions
• Interface directly with the founder, translating vision into execution while managing expectations, timelines, and discretion with the highest level of professionalism
• Drive execution under accelerated timelines, navigating challenges and compressing delivery schedules to meet ambitious project milestones
• Proactively identify risks, remove blockers, and solve operational challenges to maintain momentum across all sites
• Travel required internationally (up to 50%) to job sites in various undisclosed locations which include but are not limited to Vancouver, BC, the Caribbean, and the United States.

Qualifications :

• 7–10+ years of experience in construction or real estate development, with a background in field operations, PM leadership, and infrastructure-heavy sites
• Experience managing active job sites with complex logistical, permitting, or utility challenges — such as off-grid or remote access builds
• Experience with design build, ideally luxury builds
• Strong foundation of field construction or GC operations
• Proven ability to oversee multiple concurrent projects with different scopes, contractors, and stakeholder groups
• Proven track record leading capital projects from design through build, with full ownership of scope, schedule, and execution.
• Track record of leading both internal teams and external trades with accountability, urgency, and clarity
• Demonstrated ability to bring order to unstructured or high-growth environments — building systems that scale while keeping execution tight
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to keep the founder and executive team informed through structured, data-backed reporting
• Familiarity with collaborative PM tools (Smartsheet, Google Sheets, etc.) and a willingness to implement software systems that improve team performance
