Program Director, Construction Sector Digitalization
4 weeks ago
Select how often (in days) to receive an alert:
Organizational Unit: Construction
Classification: MGT-2
Tenure: Term to 30 March 2029
Notes:
- Due to the nature of the work and operational requirements, this position will require a physical presence, in the form of a hybrid work arrangement (a combination of working onsite and offsite) of four days per week at the NRC work location identified.
- This position is being re-posted. If you had previously applied, there is no need to re-apply.
The program (approximately $70M over seven years) will drive transformation to digitalized construction. The program will lower construction time and cost, while improving sector innovation potential, productivity and the pace at which low-carbon solutions can be deployed in new and retrofit construction projects.
Research will reverse-engineer the underlying performance standards from the existing prescriptive solutions in the National Model Codes and express these in terms of numerical quantities needed by designers and materials manufacturers when creating new low-carbon materials and systems and the buildings and houses that use them. Digitalization of the performance levels in building information management models will stimulate innovative building retrofit solutions and adoption of new low-carbon products.
Successful candidates will be part of NRC's Engineering Division, reporting directly to the Director General of the Construction Research Centre who in turn reports to the Vice-President, but are expected to work collaboratively with other Research Centres and relevant Challenge Programs across NRC.
This is a unique opportunity to play a leadership role in advancing transformational science, platform technologies, prototypes and products and their pilots, in the areas of low-carbon construction, and digitalized construction needed for the sector to achieve its 2050 greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon reduction targets.
