This is a hands-on, site-focused role suited to someone who has spent their career on the construction side of the industry, ideally with a general contractor or construction management firm, and who is ready to apply that experience in an owner’s representative and advisory capacity. Experience delivering projects in federal government buildings, public-sector facilities, or other complex building and infrastructure environments will be especially valuable.

You will work closely with clients, design consultants, and contractors to keep projects on track across scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality, bringing a practical, builder’s perspective to every decision.

• Review and manage construction documentation, including contracts, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), submittals, progress claims, and site reports 
• Lead and attend site meetings and inspections with stakeholders to address issues and track progress 
• Identify construction risks early and put practical mitigation strategies in place 
• Prepare clear project reports, updates, and recommendations for clients and Tiree leadership 

What You’ll Bring 

• 5+ years of construction project management experience, including direct experience with a general contractor or construction management firm 
• Hands-on experience delivering large-scale institutional, commercial, or public-sector building projects, such as government facilities, office buildings, and civic or infrastructure projects, including new builds, renovations, retrofits, and fit-ups 
• Strong working knowledge of construction methods, building codes, and industry standards 
• Experience with construction contracts, tendering and procurement processes, and site supervision 
• Proven ability to manage scope, schedule, budget, and change on active construction sites 
• Experience coordinating consultants, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams 
• Clear, confident communication skills, with the ability to provide practical updates and recommendations to clients and stakeholders 
• A post-secondary degree or diploma in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field 
• PMP or other relevant project management certification is considered an asset 
• Existing Secret level Government of Canada security clearance is required
