  • 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.
