What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle delivery from preconstruction through turnover

• Lead scheduling, cost management, risk mitigation, and documentation

• Partner with talented Site Supers to drive quality and maintain momentum

• Communicate proactively with architects, consultants, suppliers, and city officials

• Build trust with clients through transparency, clarity, and results

• Create solutions—not excuses—when challenges land on your plate

• Shape project culture and help influence how the team executes future work

What You Bring

Experience & Capability

• 5–10+ years leading commercial or institutional construction projects

• Strong background in base-building, structural, or retrofit environments

• Proven ability to manage multiple subs, technical scopes, and project stakeholders

• Comfort with modern construction platforms (Procore, Smartsheet, etc.)

• Post-secondary technical training (BCIT or similar)

Who You Are

• Driven: You push projects forward and keep teams aligned

• Clear communicator: You set expectations and follow through

• Organized: Budgets, schedules, documentation—your bread & butter

• Client-facing: You build trust quickly and keep relationships strong

• Steady under pressure: You don’t flinch when complexity spikes

Why This Company

This contractor is known for thinking differently and building a culture where PMs are trusted to do their jobs well. You can expect:

• $160K–$180K total comp + bonus typically 10–20%

• Remote flexibility: 3 days in office, 2 days remote

• Industry-leading tech stack: Procore, Site Docs, Building Connected, Teams

• A people-first culture with low turnover and genuine collaboration

• Profit sharing: You participate in company performance

This is the kind of environment where strong operators thrive and build long, successful careers.
