• Support the preparation of lease, sales, and marketing materials as needed.
• Act as a liaison between the internal team, consultants, municipalities, and other external stakeholders.

• Foster positive relationships with clients, investors, brokers, and consultants.
• Attend meetings and prepare detailed meeting notes and action item summaries.
• Conduct research and provide input on value engineering exercises.

• Assist in tracking preconstruction costs and managing consultant contracts.
• Collaborate with other departments, such as acquisitions, design, estimating, marketing, and sales, to ensure alignment across projects.

Requirements:

• A post-secondary degree or diploma in a relevant field (e.g., real estate, business, urban planning, or construction management).
• 1-3 years of relevant work experience in development, construction, or project management (or equivalent internship/co-op experience).
• Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
