In partnership with Metrolinx, ACCIONA is playing a key role in the design and construction of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE), a 9.2-kilometre westward addition to Toronto’s Line 5 light rail transit network. This major infrastructure project includes seven new stations and installation of rail and systems under a progressive design-build model.

Beyond its technical scope, the ECWE project represents a significant investment in sustainable urban mobility, expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5,800 tonnes annually and eliminate over 6.5 million vehicle trips each year when combined with the full Line 5.

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team on a complex, high-value project that supports long-term regional growth and environmental sustainability. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and advance your career with a global infrastructure leader, we encourage you to apply and grow with us.

The Store/Warehouse Manager will lead the planning, coordination, and day-to-day management of the warehouse, stores, inventory, and material-control activities supporting the ECWE SRS project.

The Store/Warehouse Manager will be responsible for establishing and maintaining effective systems for the receipt, inspection, identification, storage, preservation, inventory control, issuing, transfer, stocking, restocking, reconciliation of construction materials, equipment, components, tools, and project supplies.

The role will support multiple construction work fronts and ensure that materials are available when required while maintaining accurate inventory records, appropriate storage conditions, and full material traceability.

Working closely with Procurement, Logistics, Construction, Engineering, Quality, Project Controls, Commercial, Document Control, subcontractors, suppliers, and site teams, the Store/Warehouse Manager will ensure the warehouse function supports project schedule, quality, cost, safety, and construction requirements.

The successful candidate will have strong experience managing stores or warehouse operations within major construction, infrastructure, transportation, industrial, manufacturing, or engineering projects.
