Original job description
Assistant Project Manager / Senior Project Coordinator – High-Rise Residential
Location: Toronto, ON
Industry: High-Rise Residential Development / Construction
Employment Type: Full-Time
Salary: $100,000–$120,000
The Opportunity
Our client, an established high-rise residential developer/builder in Toronto, is seeking an Assistant Project Manager / Senior Project Coordinator to join their project team.
This position is well suited to someone with a strong technical and architectural background who has transitioned, or is looking to transition, into the owner/developer side of construction.
The successful candidate will support the delivery of high-rise residential projects through detailed coordination of drawings, consultants, construction documentation, tendering, schedules, and project administration.
This is not a traditional development management position. The focus is primarily on the technical and construction coordination aspects of the project rather than feasibility analysis, municipal approvals, or broader development underwriting.
Key Responsibilities
The ideal candidate may currently be working as a Senior Project Coordinator, Assistant Project Manager, Architectural Technologist, Intern Architect, or Project Architect/Coordinator and is interested in working directly for a residential developer/builder.
They should be technically strong and comfortable working with drawings, consultants, tenders, construction schedules, and project documentation while reporting into a more senior Project Manager.
This role offers an opportunity to gain broader exposure to the owner/developer side of high-rise residential construction while continuing to build project management experience.
