Job description

Commercial Manager - Major new build projects - TORONTO, CANADA - Tier One Contractor

Relocate to Toronto, Canada: Are you looking for a new challenge and a better quality of life? Consider relocating to Toronto, Canada. Ranked as the 5th best country in the world for quality of life, Canada offers:

• Universal healthcare
• Good education (92% of adults complete secondary education)
• Security of work and genuine career progression opportunities
• Highly rated lifestyle

Canada is expected to see 8.5% year-on-year growth in construction, with high demand for construction professionals. Several of the top 10 construction businesses in Canada, working on building projects of £30m to £200m, are looking to recruit UK Commercial Managers for their businesses in Toronto.

Job Opportunity: Commercial Manager

We are seeking experienced Commercial Managers to join top-tier contractors in Toronto, working on major new build projects valued at £30m-£200m. Many of these organisations have been around for over 100 years and are regarded as some of the top employers in Canada, having been recognised by top awards/business press.

As a Commercial Manager, you will:

• Provide support in areas such as contractual, procurement, project control, and risk/opportunity management
• Be heavily involved in the work-winning process (assessing risk/opportunity and mitigation), contract review/negotiation, through to project delivery (acting as a key steward from work winning to delivery, ensuring that the project team are aware of risks/managing these appropriately)

Note that the role of Commercial Manager in Canada is slightly different from what you might expect in the UK. You're unlikely to be managing a team of QS's but instead will be focused on providing support in the areas mentioned above.

Requirements To be successful, you'll need:

• A track record of working on a range of commercial, public sector, healthcare, or industrial building projects valued at a minimum of £30m+

Benefits Our clients offer:

• Financial support to assist with relocation
• Experienced support with the visa/work permit process (they have been recruiting from the UK for 15-20+ years)
• A smooth transition to your new role
