Project Director

We’re looking for a senior leader to join our team and take the lead on our senior living projects based in the Vancouver area. Reporting directly to the Director, Construction, this senior-level role will oversee a portfolio of third-party projects, maintaining strong client relationships throughout the entire project life cycle.

This position is responsible for managing construction from pre-construction through to completion, providing guidance and support to project teams to ensure schedules, budgets, safety, quality standards, and processes are consistently met. Success in this role will require effective problem solving, risk mitigation, trade management, and relationship building, with a focus on driving overall project excellence.

**About Marcon**

Many people will spend their lives in a Marcon home, so we have to build it right, every time. Founded in 1985, Marcon is an established real estate company specializing in acquiring, developing, building and managing properties across Metro Vancouver. A focus on quality and craft is what the business was built on, giving us a trusted name in the construction community. These principles have remained a focus as we’ve expanded into the real estate development and operations space, managing our own projects from conception through to execution, completion, and more recently ongoing management.

We have a commitment to providing elevated experiences at every touch point between our people, our buildings, and our communities. None of this is possible without a hardworking team, working together, to make it all happen. That’s why we’re looking for people who are eager to join an intelligent and motivated team to create something bigger than themselves and build communities that will impact a neighbourhood in infinite ways.
