Mississauga, Canada EllisDon Full time
As a Sustainability Project Manager:

You come into work every day knowing that you are a key part of building new and exciting projects. It’s a lot of pressure sometimes, but you enjoy supporting a team to fulfill its sustainability needs including the project sustainability certifications. Your co-workers look to you for answers and as a manager you have the freedom to excel. When you walk down the street, you look at major projects and think “I supported that coming together”.

You as a ‘Sustainability Project Manager’ will:

  1. Review contract documents, identify project sustainability-related risks, identify specific requirements, interpret the corresponding scope, work with teams to mitigate risks and escalate issues as required.
  2. Support the project team directly or through managing external consultants to ensure delivery of sustainability requirements, which may include certification under various sustainability rating systems, climate risk and resiliency, operational energy and carbon, embodied carbon, and construction related site emissions.
  3. Provide project start-up orientation to project teams, rolling out management systems and provide ongoing technical review, support, and training for sustainable certification programs.
  4. Oversee the work of Sustainability Assistant Project Managers and/or Sustainability Coordinators and on-site project teams with project related Sustainability matters.
  5. Report on project status, action items, and critical milestones during the development, construction and occupancy phases.
  6. Explore business development opportunities through attending networking events, conferences.
  7. Represent EllisDon at industry events.
  8. Contribute to other sustainability initiatives and industry research.

Is this the right role for you? You have a post-secondary education in Engineering, Architecture or design/construction related discipline and five years of construction experience or an equivalent combination of technical training and experience in a Project Manager role in Institutional or Commercial construction.

You have a minimum of 3-5 years’ experience in sustainability including facilitating the LEED process, and implementing sustainability into the built environment during various phases of design, construction, and building operation.

You have an in-depth understanding of sustainability, the LEED rating system and the corresponding impacts to design and construction, as well as a working understanding of other sustainability metrics and frameworks (eg: Toronto Green Standard, WELL, Envision, ZeroCarbon, Embodied Carbon, etc.).

You have a valid driver’s license (the role will involve site visitation) along with the ability to travel to other cities throughout Canada based on project portfolio. Work requires very light physical exertion, limited visual and/or auditory concentration, manual dexterity and/or strain.

You have the ability to define project scope, goals and deliverables, and to identify and manage project related risks.

You have the ability to lead the sustainability scope of work on multiple projects at different stages of the project life cycle and to communicate sustainability requirements effectively to various disciplines.

You have the ability to adapt to a rapidly growing and changing industry and have a passion for driving change in the industry.

You have good critical thinking and problem solving skills and have conflict resolution experience. EllisDon is proud to provide this unique career opportunity that provides continuous learning, opportunity for growth, and a competitive compensation package within an environment that is committed to inclusion and respects diversity.
