About Morven Construction
Morven Construction has spent decades becoming a fixture of Eastern Ontario's building industry, still run today as the family business it started as. What began with sewer and water main work has grown into heavy civil development, restoration, and the design of parks and recreational complexes, with a name attached to some of the region's most recognized public projects. That range calls for more than boots on the ground: planning, problem-solving, and coordination across every stage of a build all matter as much as the work on site, especially on the demanding, technically complicated jobs Morven has built its reputation on.
Clients stay with Morven for years, and so do a lot of the people who build for them, drawn to a company that plans carefully but still moves with the openness of a family shop. For anyone who wants serious civil work and a real say in how a project comes together, Morven offers a place to build a lasting career on projects that matter.

- Inspecting work in progress to ensure it conforms to plans and specifications
- Supporting the maintenance of accurate as-built drawings
- Problem solving site issues to minimize construction delays and claims
- Attending and participating in on-site meetings

About You
To qualify, you will need a minimum of 3 years of supervisory experience in heavy civil construction, and a current G license and insurable driving abstract.
Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:
- Post-secondary diploma in construction

As our ideal candidate, you will possess strong leadership, communication, and time management skills, along with a hands-on approach and the ability to coordinate confidently with subcontractors, suppliers, and owners. You'll also bring the kind of organization and follow-through that keeps paperwork and progress moving together, as well as a genuine ability to mentor and get the best out of a crew.
This is an opportunity for an experienced site leader to step into a well-established team and take real ownership of the projects in front of them, working alongside people who've spent decades building Eastern Ontario's infrastructure and are looking for someone ready to carry that standard forward.
