Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is hands-on, organized, reliable, and knowledgeable about construction. This is not strictly an office-based project management position. The successful candidate must be comfortable being on site, walking the project, reviewing work as it progresses, coordinating trades, reviewing drawings, identifying issues, and communicating directly with the project team.
The ideal candidate understands how a construction project comes together and can anticipate what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be directed on every task.

This position will be engaged on a subcontractor/independent contractor basis for the project. The successful candidate will be responsible for invoicing for services provided in accordance with the agreed contractual arrangement.
Schedule: Full-time, on-site
Location: Orangeville, ON
Compensation: To be determined based on experience and qualifications.
