About Us:

Louis W. Bray Construction is a family-owned and operated Heavy Civil General Contractor, but we are more than just your regular heavy civil construction company. Bray was founded on mutual respect across the organization, and we continue to foster the family atmosphere that Louis started.

Our employees never feel like a number or another cog in the wheel. Each and every employee is an integral part of the organization. We work together, we play together, and we get involved together.

  • Plan, organize, and manage construction activities related to underground infrastructure, water and wastewater systems, and related civil works.
  • Develop, review, and approve project schedules, budgets, forecasts, and progress reports.
  • Monitor project performance, tracking progress against schedule and budget while proactively managing risks and implementing corrective measures.
  • Oversee subcontractor performance to ensure compliance with scope, specifications, and quality standards.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants, and municipal representatives, ensuring expectations are met and communication remains clear and consistent.
  • Prepare and review bi-weekly project reports summarizing progress, costs, forecasts, and key project updates.
  • Ensure all necessary permits, documentation, and submissions are obtained and maintained.
  • Collaborate with the Health & Safety team to promote and uphold a strong culture of safety on every project site.
  • Support business development efforts by maintaining positive client relationships and identifying opportunities for future work.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline.
  • 7–10 years of progressive experience in heavy civil construction, with a focus on watermain, sanitary, and storm sewer projects.
  • Strong technical knowledge of underground utility installation, sequencing, and municipal infrastructure standards.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and teams while maintaining cost and schedule control.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and client relationship management skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Project, Bluebeam, and related construction management tools.
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to project sites within Eastern Ontario.
