Job description

Ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide, we at Western University take academics seriously. We also believe that a university education is about more than simply acquiring knowledge, it’s about the experiences and finding a supportive community that inspires people to do their best and be their best. Our unmatched student experience and world-class faculty members, services and programs provide students and employees with unique opportunities to explore their passions, discover their purpose and positively impact the world. Western’s welcoming campus is an ideal backdrop for people to live, work and learn. Stunning natural surroundings and inspiring indoor spaces offer many opportunities to gather with colleagues, and to collaborate. With downtown London just minutes away, you can also take advantage of the city’s lively entertainment, food and sports scenes.

The Director, Capital Projects, is accountable for providing strategic leadership for a team of highly trained and skilled professionals responsible for managing capital projects required to achieve the University’s academic and research objectives. As part of the Facilities Management Division’s leadership team, the Director will contribute to Western’s campus by developing the multi-year capital improvement plan and strategies which advance the long-term resiliency of the institution. The Director will offer expertise in all aspects of capital projects, and ensure the effective communication, collaboration and alignment of resources to best support the project delivery.

The ideal candidate will be an experienced capital projects and infrastructure leader with a proven track record of delivering large, complex construction and renewal programs within a university, healthcare, research, municipal, or similarly complex institutional environment. They will bring experience managing significant capital budgets, leading multidisciplinary teams, and overseeing projects through planning, design, and construction. As a leader, they will demonstrate strategic thinking, sound judgment, and strong stakeholder management skills. They communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior executives, board members, consultants, contractors, and government partners, while building trusted relationships across the organization. They inspire and develop high-performing teams, foster collaboration and accountability, and remain focused on delivering successful outcomes.

This is a publicly advertised job posting for a new vacancy. Odgers does not use artificial intelligence (AI) to screen, assess, or select applicants for a position. The expected compensation range is $130,000-$160,000 CAD.
