Who?
Our client is one of Canada's largest and best contractors, with an enviable reputation for delivering complex projects successfully. With over 90 years of experience in the industry, this company has built an impressive portfolio of successful projects across the country. Their focus on innovation, sustainability and community engagement sets them apart from their competitors, ensuring that they always deliver the highest quality results for their clients. In addition to their exceptional construction services, they also prioritize safety and environmental responsibility throughout each stage of a project.
Why?
Within their British Columbia business unit, they need to expand their design management capability with the recruitment of an individual capable of proactively driving the design both pre- and post- contract on a huge new hospital development.
The leadership team have been looking to grow their delivery capability for this project but have not found the right individuals with suitable experience and attributes within BC. As three of the management team all came from outside of Canada, there is the believe that the right people could be found from international locations and sponsored to work in Canada. The expectation would be that successful candidates would come to Canada and settle for the minimum life cycle of these major projects - so a 3-4 year commitment, but ideally, they would be permanently relocating to BC and be part of the company for the long-term.
What?
The Design Manager will be fully responsible for coordinating all design matters on this high-profile major project from tender and award, through site delivery and construction, to commissioning and completion / final handover. Key will be helping to ensure that the multi-disciplinary teams building the project work together smoothly and that everything is delivered on time and within budget. The role reports directly to the Project Director. The role has a team, but the size and structure of the team will depend on project needs.
On Offer?
This is a Permanent Full time employed role with upward trajectory for promotion. On offer is a competitive salary (which will be fully and openly discussed before any interview process), full family relocation package and visa sponsorship, Family Medical Insurance, Employee Share Purchase Plan, Retirement Savings Program and other benefits.
