• Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with Traugott's standards, processes and expectations
• Demonstrated commitment to Health & Safety and to promoting a culture where safe work practices, accountability and compliance are part of everyday project delivery.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of progressive construction project management experience, preferably within a General Contractor environment
• Demonstrated experience successfully managing projects through the full construction lifecycle
• Strong commercial construction experience with responsibility for significant project budgets
• Proven understanding of construction contracts, drawings, specifications and scopes of work
• Strong knowledge of project financials, forecasting, cost control and profitability
• Demonstrated experience with procurement, tendering and subcontractor management
• Strong change management and contract administration experience
• Experience developing and managing construction schedules
• Strong understanding of construction risk and the ability to identify issues before they impact project delivery
• Experience managing and developing project teams
• Strong client-facing, negotiation and relationship-management skills
• Experience with Procore is strongly preferred
• Excellent leadership, communication and decision-making skills
• Degree or diploma in Construction Management, Engineering, Architectural Technology or a related discipline is preferred
• PMP, P.Eng. or other relevant professional designation is considered an asset
• Valid driver's licence and ability to travel to GTA project sites as required

The Person We're Looking For

We're looking for a builder and a leader.

You understand your project's numbers and can speak confidently about cost to complete, forecast, committed costs, changes, risks and profitability.

You know what's happening on site, what is coming next and where the project could potentially get into trouble.

You don't wait for problems to become emergencies.

You build strong relationships with clients and consultants while protecting Traugott's contractual and commercial interests. You support your Superintendent, develop your project team and create accountability around commitments and deliverables.

Most importantly, you take ownership.

When you are responsible for a project, you understand its health, its risks and what needs to happen next to deliver it successfully.

You will have the opportunity to lead diverse construction projects, work directly with senior leadership and clients, develop emerging construction professionals and influence how projects are delivered across our Ontario operations.
