- Oversee estimating, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, contracts, and project execution.
- Establish relationships with owners, consultants, subcontractors, and suppliers.
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
- Contribute to business development efforts and help secure external commercial construction opportunities.
- Implement operational processes and best practices to support long-term growth and profitability.

The ideal candidate will bring:
- 5+ years of progressive commercial construction management experience.
- Proven leadership overseeing commercial tenant improvement and commercial construction projects.
- Significant experience managing complex commercial projects, ideally within healthcare, medical, or dental facilities.
- Experience delivering occupied renovations and highly coordinated interior fit-outs.
- Strong understanding of estimating, project financial management, contracts, scheduling, and risk management.
- Exceptional leadership and relationship-building skills.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build, lead, and grow a business.
- Experience mentoring project teams and developing construction operations.
- Willingness to travel as required for projects throughout Western Canada.
Preferred Experience
- Medical clinic, dental clinic, healthcare, or specialty commercial construction.
- Design-build and construction management delivery models.
- Experience growing or leading a business unit or regional operation.
- Existing relationships within the commercial construction industry.
Why This Opportunity?
This position offers the chance to create something meaningful with the backing of an established organization that already has a significant volume of construction work.
In addition to a highly competitive compensation package, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in a performance-based equity partnership aligned with EBITDA growth targets—allowing them to share directly in the long-term success of the business they help build.
