  • Prepare and evaluate detailed business case analyses quantifying the benefits of proposed solutions.
  • Ensure adherence to health and safety standards, reporting any issues.
  • Support the pursuits team early in the sales process to evaluate scope and determine cost estimates. Qualifications:
    • 10+ years of experience in engineering, construction management, or a related field.
    • Proven leadership experience in managing and mentoring small teams.
    • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical HVAC, Energy, Electrical, or a related field.

    • Proficiency in MS Office and construction/project management software.
    • Ability to solve diverse problems, anticipate construction challenges, and work closely with site supervisors, sub-trades, clients, and consultants.
    • Outstanding communication, negotiation, and organizational skills. We thank all applicants for their interest, however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted. At Modern Niagara, we recognize the value of fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization and are committed to eliminating barriers faced by members of equity-seeking groups (women, Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, and new immigrants) in the construction industry.
