Job Description

AECOM Mississauga is hiring a Director, Light Rail Transit (LRT).

The Director leads delivery of multi-billion-dollar LRT projects through planning, design, procurement, engineering, construction, commissioning, and transfer to Operations using an Alternative Finance and Procurement (AFP) delivery model. The role oversees technical and design services throughout the project lifecycle to ensure designs are compliant, safe, constructible, and cost-efficient, and coordinates with other programs to support overall program objectives.

The Director works across client, consultant, contractor, and internal teams to align technical, commercial, and delivery functions. The Director works closely with and supports the VP, contributes directly to project work as needed, and collaborates respectfully across organizational levels in a relatively flat hierarchy. The role calls for sound judgment, delivery accountability, coaching, and the ability to build trust and influence outcomes across organizations.

Monitor consultant and project team performance, identify issues, and support timely solutions.
Provide strategic input to third-party development reviews and coordinate timely responses. Coordinate scope and schedules with stakeholders to mitigate conflicts and ensure designs align with project sponsorship requirements.
Manage communications with the project sponsor or owner and stakeholders, including municipalities, property owners, utility companies, and authorities having jurisdiction. Prepare presentation materials and support the Project Director with presentations as required.
Identify design and technical changes, issues, and scope creep; contribute to change management and resolve conflicts through early identification and problem-solving.
Remain actively involved in day-to-day project work and work directly with the project team to address delivery needs as they arise.

Customer / Stakeholder

Build and maintain effective relationships with contractors and internal and external stakeholders; work across organizations to resolve issues related to project deliverables.

Financial Stewardship

Manage activities within approved budgets and schedules.
Report financial and performance results, and significant cost, security, safety, human resources, or project management issues to the Deputy Program Manager.

People Leadership

Build a high-performing work environment by ensuring teams have the required skills, alignment, and resources.
Provide strategic leadership that connects projects with corporate goals; model organizational values and the Code of Ethics.
Set clear roles and expectations, assign work, provide timely feedback, monitor performance, and address performance gaps while coaching staff and project teams.
Work collaboratively across client, consultant, and contractor organizations, building trust and influencing outcomes to support effective delivery.
Lead on employee and construction personnel health and safety, supporting a positive safety culture and compliance with corporate health, safety, and environmental requirements.
Assist the Project Director in establishing the organization and resourcing needed for high-performance delivery, collaboration, and project commitments.
