6ixBuild Inc. is the construction arm of 6ixGroup, a Toronto-based integrated practice that carries projects from first sketch to final occupancy. We build low-rise and mid-rise residential, multiplex, commercial, mixed-use, and institutional work across Toronto and the GTA, under construction management, general contracting, and design-build. What sets us apart is structural: our architects and engineers sit in the same building as our construction team, so a field question gets a drawing, not a two-week RFI cycle. As our project volume grows, we are looking for people who want real responsibility and the room to use it.
WHY 6IXBUILD?
- Growth: We are expanding our field team, and this role runs the site. What you set in the first month of a job - the schedule logic, the standard of work, the tone with trades - holds for the rest of the build.
- Integrated Practice: Our architectural and engineering teams are in-house. You raise a conflict in the morning and get a sketch back the same day instead of waiting on a consultant to tell you what you already know.
- Ownership: We are a flat company with short lines to the principals. You run your site, you make the calls that belong on site, and you are not waiting on three levels of approval to keep the work moving.
- Breadth of Work: Multiplex and missing-middle housing, low- and mid-rise infill, additions and adaptive reuse, retail and institutional builds. You will not spend two years on a single building type.
- Real Backing: Estimating, purchasing, coordination, and design support behind you, so your day is spent building rather than chasing paper that someone else should be holding.
- Competitive Salary: We recognize and reward the value that each team member brings to the table. Our compensation packages reflect our dedication to attracting and retaining strong people.
JOB DESCRIPTION
As Site Superintendent, you own the site. You run the day-to-day build, hold the schedule, direct and coordinate the trades, and keep the work safe, clean, and to the drawings. You set the look-ahead, sequence the work, call the inspections, and decide what happens when the delivery lands short or the excavation finds something the geotechnical report did not.
You are the firm's authority in the field: on quality, on health and safety, and on what actually gets built. You report to the Project Manager and work directly with the Project Coordinator, the estimating team, our in-house architects and engineers, and the principals.
This is a site-based role. You will be on the ground daily, in the trailer only as long as the paperwork takes.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Site Supervision: Run daily site operations, direct trades and site staff, sequence the work, and keep the build moving to the construction schedule.
- Schedule Management: Maintain the two- and three-week look-ahead, track progress against the master schedule, identify slippage early, and drive the recovery rather than reporting the delay.
- Trade Coordination: Coordinate subcontractors and suppliers on site, resolve interface conflicts between trades, confirm scope before the crew mobilizes, and hold trades to their commitments.
- Health and Safety: Enforce the site-specific safety plan and the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its construction regulations, run toolbox talks and orientations, conduct inspections, maintain safety documentation, and stop unsafe work without waiting for permission.
- Quality Control: Inspect work in place against drawings, specifications, and Ontario Building Code requirements, reject work that does not meet the standard, and catch it at the first occurrence rather than at the deficiency walk.
- Inspections and Approvals: Schedule and attend municipal, engineering, and consultant inspections, coordinate testing and review, and maintain the inspection record through to occupancy.
- Site Documentation: Keep daily logs, manpower and equipment counts, delivery records, weather, photographs, and progress documentation complete enough to stand up in a claim.
- Drawing and Field Issues: Review drawings ahead of the work, identify conflicts and gaps before they hit the field, raise RFIs, and implement site instructions and changes accurately.
- Material and Logistics Management: Plan deliveries, site access, staging, hoisting, and storage, verify quantities and condition on receipt, and control waste and site housekeeping.
- Change and Cost Awareness: Identify extra work as it arises, document it at the time with backup, and flag cost and schedule impacts to the Project Manager before the work proceeds.
- Closeout: Run the deficiency process, coordinate final cleaning, testing, and commissioning, chase the list to zero, and support occupancy, handover, and warranty response.
- Neighbourhood and Site Conditions: Maintain hoarding, dust, noise, mud tracking, and public protection, and manage relations with neighbours, property owners, and municipal inspectors.
MUST HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- Approximately 5 to 10 years of construction experience, with at least 3 years running a site as Superintendent or Site Supervisor.
- Demonstrated ability to carry a low-rise or mid-rise project from excavation through occupancy.
- Working knowledge of the Ontario Building Code, construction means and methods, and standard residential and commercial assemblies.
- Thorough knowledge of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Ontario construction regulations as they apply on an active site.
- Ability to read and coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings and specifications, and to find the conflict between them before the trade does.
- Proficiency with Bluebeam or equivalent for drawings and markups, and with Microsoft Office for logs, schedules, and correspondence.
- Working At Heights and WHMIS certification, and a valid Ontario driver's licence with reliable transportation between sites.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to write a daily log and an email that hold up later.
- Post-secondary education in construction, civil or building technology, engineering, or a skilled trade background with equivalent site experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Gold Seal certification, CET designation, or equivalent professional credential.
- First Aid and CPR, Confined Space, Fall Protection, Propane Handling, or Traffic Control certification.
- Experience with wood frame, ICF, load-bearing masonry, and light structural steel construction.
- Experience with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or similar site management software.
- Experience with multiplex, missing-middle, laneway and garden suite, or purpose-built rental typologies.
- Experience with occupied-site renovations, additions, adaptive reuse, or heritage properties.
- Familiarity with Tarion enrolment, warranty, and pre-delivery inspection requirements.
- Experience working alongside in-house or closely integrated design teams.
We weigh demonstrated ability, technical competence, project experience, and professional judgment far more heavily than where you trained or whose name is on your resume.
SKILLS AND PERSONAL QUALITIES
- Decisive: You make the call the site needs at the moment it needs it, and you own the call afterward.
- Organized: You know what is coming in three weeks, who is on site tomorrow, and what is missing before the crew stands around asking.
- Rigorous: You check the layout, the elevations, and the dimensions yourself before the concrete arrives.
- Firm: You hold trades to the drawings and the schedule without turning the site into a fight.
- Proactive: You raise the issue early rather than reporting it after the fact.
- Collaborative: You work well with coordinators, engineers, consultants, and inspectors, and you would rather solve the problem than win the email.
- Safety-minded: You treat safety as the way the work gets done, not as a binder in the trailer.
- Self-directed: You can be handed a site, a set, and a completion date, and be trusted to run it.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Full authority over your site, with the backing to exercise it.
- A direct working relationship with the Project Manager and the principals, with no layers to push through.
- A varied portfolio across residential, multiplex, mixed-use, commercial, and institutional work.
- In-house architectural and engineering support on every project, with answers in hours rather than weeks.
- Coordinator and estimating support so your time goes into the build.
- Competitive compensation aligned with experience.
- Vehicle or mileage allowance and phone allowance.
- Paid vacation and statutory holidays.
- Support for professional development, certification, and continuing education.
- A clear path to grow with the firm as our project volume expands.
