Our approach is simple : we work hard, we have fun, and we make a difference. And, we’ve been recognized as a top employer provincially and nationally. Our people are the heart and soul of our organization. If you are passionate, hardworking, ambitious, and want to be part of a dynamic and growing company that will take your career forward, join us.

Since 1954, Beedie has combined innovation and craftsmanship to bring new possibilities to life. Today, we are one of Canada’s largest industrial and residential developers, having completed more than 35 million square feet of new development across BC, Alberta, southern Ontario, and Las Vegas, Nevada. With multiple industrial projects currently under construction and 9 projects totaling over 1.5 M SF currently in development across the GTA, Beedie is looking for talented individuals to join our growing Ontario team as we continue to be built for good.

About the Role

The Development Manager will play a critical role in Beedie’s industrial condo, speculative, and built‑to‑suit projects across Ontario, managing the pre‑construction process and municipal approvals. The role offers direct exposure to every aspect of the development lifecycle – from due diligence of the property (in conjunction with our investments team) to municipal approvals, design execution and ultimately, stakeholder management. You’ll also assist with land development strategy, proforma creation, review legal contracts, engage and manage consultants and prepare, submit and negotiate applications for development approvals.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage project budgets and schedules with a Development Analyst to ensure the development is completed on time and within budget.
• Proactively manage changes in project scope, identify project risks and their potential impact on project performance, and seek risk mitigation strategies that save time and increase profitability.
• Support the acquisitions team by reviewing zoning bylaws, restrictive covenants, design guidelines and preliminary design drawings.
• Visit prospective land opportunities to assess existing conditions, prepare a comprehensive condition assessment report, and work with Beedie’s land development team to identify any site‑specific costs or risks for the project.
• Lead the consultant team with submission and rezoning applications, land subdivision and development permits and coordinate with municipal planning and building departments.
• Maintain relationships with key stakeholders such as City staff and commenting agencies.
• Negotiate effectively with municipal authorities, consultants and external stakeholders to resolve disputes and facilitate timely approvals.
• Develop and manage entitlements and design schedules and ensure that key milestones are achieved on time and on budget.
• Participate in the RFP process by reviewing proposals, evaluating proposals and preparing recommendations.
• Lead the Site Plan Approval process.
• Work with the construction team to create building specifications for speculative developments based on market standard requirements.
• Liaise and work with the Leasing and Operations team to ensure a seamless occupancy while meeting lease‑up objectives. Conduct regular internal briefings, clearly communicating project status, milestones, risks and opportunities to senior management.
• Ensure accurate and timely reporting, if required.
• Work with the development team to generate building layouts for built‑to‑suit and speculative developments.
• Participate in design meetings to analyze plans and specifications for coordination, constructability, value engineering and completeness.
• Work with various stakeholders from initial contact through turnover to construction.
• Work closely with Beedie’s development and construction teams to facilitate successful project turnover.
