Regional Director

Regional Director – Vancouver Island

Victoria, BC | Full-Time | Leadership Role

MatchBox Consulting Group is working with a highly respected construction firm to recruit a Regional Director to lead their Vancouver Island operations, based in Victoria.

This is a true leadership and management hire, with responsibility for both people and portfolio. The successful candidate will oversee the Island team while acting as the senior executive lead on one of the largest and most important development portfolios on Vancouver Island.

The Opportunity

This role combines:

• People leadership and mentorship

• Executive-level project oversight

• Client and partner stewardship

• Strategic responsibility for major Island projects

A key component of this role is stewardship of a $1B+ development portfolio, making this one of the most senior and influential construction leadership roles on Vancouver Island.

The firm is deeply relationship-driven. As a result, this role is Victoria-based, and relocation is not being considered.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Lead, mentor, and develop the existing Vancouver Island team

• Oversee a large, complex portfolio of active and future projects at an executive level

• Act as the primary senior contact for major Island-based clients and partners

• Provide strategic oversight on schedules, risk, delivery, and resourcing

• Ensure projects are executed consistently with company standards and values

• Support business growth and long-term presence on Vancouver Island

• Travel periodically up-Island and to the Lower Mainland as required

This is a visible, trusted leadership role with real authority and accountability.

Ideal Background

• 5+ years in a senior leadership role (Director, Senior Manager, or equivalent)

• 10+ years in project management delivering complex construction projects

• Proven track record of seeing projects through from start to finish

• Strong construction background:

  • General Contracting

  • Engineering

  • Architecture

• Solid technical understanding to complement leadership experience

• Comfortable operating at an executive and client-facing level

• Collaborative, grounded leadership style with high emotional intelligence

Culture & Fit (Critical)

This organization places real emphasis on:

• Leadership maturity

• Judgment and credibility

• Mentorship and team presence

• Relationship-building over transactional management

Being in the office with the team matters. This role offers limited remote work (up to 1 day per week), by design.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $150,000 – $170,000

• Discretionary bonus

• 3 weeks vacation

• 80/20 extended health & dental coverage

• 1 day per week work-from-home

• Long-term leadership runway within the organization

Interview Process (Transparent & Intentional)

This process is structured and deliberate:

1. Initial interview with senior leadership (Victoria-based)

2. Performance assessment with a performance psychologist, plus reference checks

3. Final interview with the broader partnership group prior to offer

This reflects the importance and longevity of the hire.

Location & Travel

• Based in Victoria

• Some travel up-Island and occasional Mainland travel required

• Strong local relationships are a major asset

Timing

• Actively interviewing

• One opening

• Senior candidates only

If you are a seasoned construction leader on Vancouver Island looking for a high-trust, high-impact role, this is a rare opportunity.
