Project Manager

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of structural steel and miscellaneous metals projects, specializing in the high-rise residential construction sector with clients across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and beyond.

The successful candidate will own each project from contract award through final close-out, coordinating between estimating, drafting, fabrication, shipping, and field erection while interfacing daily with general contractors, consulting engineers of record (EORs), architects, Chief Building Officials/inspectors, and site personnel. This role requires strong technical command of structural steel and miscellaneous metals scope, disciplined contract and change management, fluency in the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and applicable CSA standards, and the ability to keep shop drawings, mill orders, and erection sequences moving in lockstep with the site schedule.

Compensation: $110,000-130,000

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery

• Manage end-to-end delivery: award, detailing, fabrication, coating, shipping, erection, and close-out.
• Track schedules, fabrication progress, erection sequencing, costs, and scope changes; manage mill orders and load releases.
• Issue and maintain fabrication and erection schedules aligned with the GC’s critical path and crane availability.
• Prepare and maintain project execution plans, erection sequence plans, progress reports, and cost-to-complete forecasts for internal leadership and client review.
• Respond to site conditions: RFIs, field-fit issues, missing/damaged pieces, back-charges, and retrofit work.
• Coordinate between internal teams (estimating, detailing, fabrication shop, logistics) and external parties (GC, EOR, architect, connection engineer, inspection agencies).

Contract & Change Management

• Administer CCDC 2, CCDC 17, CCA-1, and custom GC subcontracts, including scope, bonding, WSIB, and insurance requirements.
• Reference contract documents and specifications (CSI MasterFormat Divisions 05 12 00 and 05 50 00) throughout the project lifecycle to guide scope interpretation.
• Identify and process change orders, extras, and variations promptly; coordinate billings, statutory holdback, and lien discharge under the Construction Act (Ontario).
• Issue timely written notice for schedule and scope impacts; maintain an auditable record of all correspondence to protect the company’s contractual position.
• Ensure compliance with OBC, CSA S16, CSA W47.1/W59, CWB certification, and applicable coating specifications throughout delivery.

Drawing Management

• Manage submission and approval of shop, erection, and fabrication drawings (Tekla Structures / AutoCAD); maintain submittal, RFI, and transmittal logs.
• Prioritize release-for-fabrication (RFF) dates for pieces on the erection critical path and long-lead mill material.
• QA/QC shop drawings for connection details, bolt grades (ASTM F3125 A325/A490), weld symbols (CSA W59), cambers, MTRs (CSA G40.20/G40.21), and finish requirements.
• Coordinate trade interfaces (architectural, mechanical, electrical, precast, curtain wall, elevator) to prevent clashes around embeds, penetrations, and miscellaneous attachments.
• Oversee delegated connection design — coordinating reactions, moment/bracing forces, and P.Eng.-stamped calculations between detailer, connection engineer, and EOR.
