This role balances hands-on leadership with planning, communication, quality control, and safety management, ensuring projects run efficiently from mobilization through completion.What You Will Be Doing
  • Lead, supervise, and mentor construction crews to ensure safe and productive work practices.
  • Coordinate daily work activities, labour, materials, equipment, and subcontractors.
  • Review construction drawings, specifications, and schedules to plan work effectively.
  • Monitor project progress and adjust resources to maintain timelines.
  • Conduct daily site meetings and communicate priorities to the crew.
  • Ensure all work complies with project specifications, building codes, and quality standards.
  • Promote and enforce company safety policies and conduct regular toolbox talks.
  • Identify and resolve construction issues while minimizing project delays.
  • Maintain daily reports, site documentation, and progress updates.
  • Foster positive relationships with clients, consultants, inspectors, and other trades.
What You'll Bring
  • Minimum 5+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, or institutional construction, including experience leading construction crews.
  • Proven supervisory or foreman experience on ICI construction projects.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, specifications, and construction schedules.
  • Thorough knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, and safety regulations.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
  • Ability to coordinate multiple trades and manage changing project priorities.
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving abilities.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Relevant trade certification (Journeyperson/Red Seal) is considered a strong asset.
Benefits & EnvironmentBenefits for this role include competitive compensation, comprehensive health and dental benefits, opportunities for professional development and career advancement, and the chance to lead diverse, high-impact ICI construction projects.
