• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, forecasts and reporting
• Manage tendering, contractor selection, change orders, project risks and commercial negotiations
• Coordinate design development and ensure projects meet client requirements
• Monitor construction progress, quality, safety, budget and schedule
• Identify and mitigate project risks throughout the project lifecycle
• Provide regular project reporting to senior stakeholders
• Manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of client service

What We're Looking For:

• 7+ years of progressive project management experience
• Proven track record delivering $2M to $4M+ projects or larger

• Comfortable working directly with senior corporate stakeholders
• Strong knowledge of Canadian construction practices and project delivery methodologies
• Post secondary education in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, Business or a related discipline
• PMP designation is an asset
• P.Eng., LEED or other relevant professional designations are considered an asset

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Manager looking to take ownership of significant corporate real estate projects while working with a sophisticated and highly regarded organization.

The successful candidate will bring a strong track record of project delivery, commercial awareness and the ability to build trusted relationships with clients, consultants and contractors.
