o Coordinating custom orders with shop foreman;
o Troubleshooting material installation details and other project issues;
o Attending site meetings with general contractors and consultants; and
o Coordinating and submitting project closeout documents.
● Collaborate extremely closely and frequently with project foremen to jointly ensure project success.
● Manage project budgets, including negotiating contract changes, allocating labour, negotiating material and equipment prices, and meeting target profitability.
o Report project financials to senior management weekly.
● Act as the central point of contact for all information distribution regarding a project including extensive communication with the numerous project partners that may be affected by specific project activities.
o Lead internal bi-weekly project update meetings.
● Manage relationships with customers (general contractors and owners), while proactively resolving issues and enhancing company reputation.
● Act as a trusted advisor to senior management by offering informed and insightful recommendations on new trends, potential problems, and opportunities.
What you bring:
● Minimum five years of experience in construction project management.
● Prior experience in commercial/industrial construction is mandatory.

● Ability to develop strong relationships with customers, consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors, with excellent interpersonal and communications skills.
● Highly organized with the ability to multi-task with ease, on 4 to 6 projects simultaneously.
● Self-starter with a strong work ethic and a self-imposed desire to exceed expectations every day.
● Willingness to work outside of regular business hours, including evenings and weekends, when project deadlines require.
