Original job description

Job Title: Construction Manager
Company: Optiv Energy Canada Inc.
Job Type: Full-time, site based
Location: Eastern Ontario, Canada (solar farm construction site)
Salary Range: $50/hr, negotiable based on experience
Benefits: RRSP matching, Extended Health / Dental / Vision, Vacation-Pay, Cell Phone Allowance, Self-Improvement Allowance, Annual Company Profit Sharing

WHO WE ARE:

Optiv Energy Inc. is a founder-led and managed renewable energy field services company, working on utility scale BESS, solar and wind projects. We are not a large corporation or private equity backed firm, we are a group of former technicians who truly understand the value of a strong company culture and live by it. You are not just a number at Optiv Energy, and profit is shared across the company every year.

THE ROLE

Optiv Energy Inc. is seeking an experienced Construction Manager to act as an owner’s
representative on utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. The
owner’s EPC contractor builds the project and runs the site. You are the owner’s eyes and ears:
you oversee the work, report on progress, and recommend improvements.
Our current focus is solar repowering: module replacement, structural racking upgrades, and DC
conductor and breaker replacement. The role also covers new-build solar and BESS and smaller
retrofit work.

There are two sides to the job. On the field side, you inspect work, coach crews, and respond when something goes wrong. On the paperwork side, you keep the safety program, training records, and incident documentation current and defensible. Both matter.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Site oversight. Observe the EPC’s work on site and confirm it matches drawings and specs.
Progress reporting. Review the EPC’s schedule and progress data. Keep daily logs and
photos, and report status, risks, and open issues to the owner every week.
Safety and quality. Observe the EPC’s safety practices and quality records. Raise concerns
early.
Operating sites. On repowers, watch outages, isolation, and lockout/tagout.
Document review. Review EPC submittals, RFIs, change requests, and progress claims.
Improvement. Recommend practical improvements to sequencing, safety, and quality.
OPTIV ENERGY INC. | PAGE 1
Commissioning and handover. Witness key tests, track punch lists, and confirm turnover
documents.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

8+ years of construction experience, including 3+ years on utility-scale solar, BESS, wind,
substation, or comparable electrical projects
Solid understanding of the solar and BESS construction sequence and of electrical systems
through MV, with the ability to read drawings and spot problems in the field
Working knowledge of the OHSA, O. Reg. 213/91, and Ontario inspection processes
Clear, direct communication, clean reports, and the confidence to speak up
Valid driver’s license and legal entitlement to work in Canada

NICE TO HAVE:

We will teach you the rest.

Owner’s representative, owner’s engineer, or construction oversight experience
Solar repowering or retrofit experience, or BESS construction experience
PMP, P.Eng., C.E.T., or a construction management or engineering degree or diploma
Working at Heights, JHSC Certification, Standard First Aid/CPR, and electrical safe work
training (CSA Z462 or NFPA 70E)
Experience with the local utility and IESO connection process
Experience working with First Nations and Indigenous communities on project engagement
Fluency in French, an asset on some Ontario projects

THE WORK ITSELF:

This is field work.This is site-based work at project sites across Ontario, outdoors year-round. On repowers, parts of the plant may be operating around you. Expect some long days, some weekends, and travel between sites and to owner and utility meetings.

Optiv Energy is an equal opportunity employer. Accommodation is available on request during the recruitment process.

Not sure you check every box? If you have real MV transformer time and you are careful with your hands and your paperwork, we want to hear from you. Send a resume and a short note about the MV work
