Your Role

We're looking for Preconstruction Managers to join our Construction Solutions team. In this role, you will dig deep into design and constructability options to help optimize your client's projects. You will bring your hands-on experience in design, cost estimating, and construction to the owner’s side of the table to provide real-time, continuous feedback throughout the planning, design, and construction phases to minimize risks and maximize opportunities.

Responsibilities

  • Provide preconstruction leadership to deliver value-based design and constructability options for projects across Canada.
  • Lead and manage preconstruction activities using IPD, design-build, construction management, or stipulated price delivery methodologies.
  • Engage in design meetings with owners, architects, and engineers during the design stage to provide real-time recommendations to optimize cost, schedule, quality, and constructability variables.
  • Review and comment on drawings (2D and 3D) and specifications prepared by design consultants and provide recommendations for constructability, value engineering, and sequencing options.
  • Prepare and lead the development of Construction Management Plans (CMP) to support permitting applications taking into consideration construction logistics, site conditions and utilities, traffic impacts, health & safety, and impacts on adjacent property.
  • Lead design-assist teams of trade contractors and consultants to investigate major building renovations and equipment upgrades to establish the most efficient and least disruptive sequence of works within occupied facilities.
  • Provide construction management support to owners and developers to augment their in-house construction teams bringing expertise in trade package development, trade procurement, construction management platform (i.e., Procore) implementation, and procedures development.
  • Assist industrial clients with equipment integration into base buildings that were not originally designed for this purpose which may include assembling a team of designers, code consultants, and trade contractors to conduct feasibility studies, preliminary design, and cost estimating.
  • Develop and implement procurement procedures for goods, services, and works packages to assist clients on publicly funded projects.
  • Conduct regular site visits at preconstruction and construction phases of the project to conduct site assessments and prepare project management documentation as may be required on each project.
  • Actively participate in business development and proposals for new and existing clients to help grow the business and expand our professional service offering.
  • Maintain internal financial control of projects managed to ensure all activities and deliverables are managed within budget.
  • Prepare project plans and schedules and maintain compliance with internal Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure deliverables are developed to a consistently high standard.
  • Assist with training and mentoring of staff and provide leadership across all assigned projects.
  • Utilize tools such as RSMeans Online, Procore, CMBuilder, SketchUp, HoloBuilder, Drones, BuildingConnected, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and others to prepare deliverables for Construction Solutions.

Qualifications

  • Diploma or Degree in Architecture, or a related field, combined with experience in the construction industry.
  • 4-8 years of progressive work-related experience in design, cost estimating, and construction.
  • Professional Architect qualifications will be given preference.
  • PMP qualifications will be given preference, or willingness to obtain within one year.
  • Demonstrated familiarity with national and local building codes, health & safety regulations, and regulatory permit requirements for the construction industry.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret drawings and design details.
  • In-depth knowledge of trades relevant to commercial construction.
  • Knowledge of government regulations regarding the construction industry.
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office tools such as Word, Excel, Outlook; in addition to Google communication tools like Gmail and Google Docs.
  • Knowledge of project management tools like Microsoft Project / Gantt chart planning tools.

Don’t have every single qualification? We know that some people are less likely to apply for a job unless they are a perfect match. At Colliers Project Leaders, we’re not looking for “perfect matches.” We’re looking to welcome people to our diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. So, if you’re excited about this role but don’t have every single qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. Whether it’s this role or another one, you may be just the right candidate.

What you can expect:

  • An opportunity to truly impact our communities.
  • A flexible work environment.
  • A comprehensive onboarding experience.
  • Significant professional development, training, and a mentorship program.
  • A paid volunteer day.
  • An environment where people feel welcome, heard, and included, regardless of their differences.
  • And much more

Join our team of difference-makers and help shape the growth of dynamic communities.
