Project Manager (Manager, Construction)

About Allied

Allied is a leading owner-operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities. Our work is grounded in a clear purpose: to provide knowledge-based organizations with distinctive urban environments that support creativity, connectivity and human wellness.

Our vision is more expansive. We seek to make a continuous contribution to cities and culture that elevates and inspires the humanity in all of us. This vision informs how we operate, how we design and how we lead.

Real estate, for us, is not a passive investment. It is a profoundly human endeavour, one that must promote wellness, sustainability, diversity and creativity—today and for generations to come.

Allied is also a place to build a career of consequence. If you are looking for work that is thoughtful, tangible and enduring—work that contributes meaningfully to cities and the people who inhabit them—you will find purpose here.
