Construction Project Manager

Are you ready to take the next step in your construction career?

Simpson Group is hiring a Construction Project Manager / Coordinator to join our growing team in Fredericton and surrounding areas. You'll be part of a collaborative and supportive environment that's fast-paced, detail-driven, and focused on building quality apartment and commercial projects that you can be proud to point to and say, "I helped build that."

If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, working with people, and keeping projects organized and on track, this could be the perfect role for you. You'll spend most of your time managing schedules, budgets, and coordination from the office — with regular site visits to stay close to the work. If you like variety, enjoy working with different trades and clients, and take pride in getting the details right, you'll fit right in here.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a technical diploma or degree and 2–5 years of construction experience, who has either assisted with or observed project management firsthand and is ready to grow into a full PM role. You'll be given support and mentorship, but also the independence to manage your own responsibilities and see projects through from start to finish. More experienced applicants are also welcome to apply.

If you don't enjoy desk work, struggle with paperwork or details, or prefer working alone, this probably isn't the right fit.

What You'll Do

• Plan and manage construction projects from start to finish to ensure work is completed safely, on time, and on budget
• Coordinate and oversee day-to-day project activities for apartment and commercial builds
• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, budgets, and cost forecasts
• Establish and manage subcontractor scopes, bids, awards, and performance
• Review drawings, submittals, and shop drawings for accuracy and completeness
• Monitor site progress and quality through regular visits and communication with field teams
• Identify risks, track changes, and manage RFIs, change orders, and documentation
• Review and approve subcontractor progress draws, invoices, and holdbacks
• Communicate regularly with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and site supervisors to maintain alignment and resolve issues
• Prepare and distribute meeting minutes, project updates, and progress reports
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and contractual requirements
• Use tools such as ChatGPT, MS Project, Excel, Outlook, SiteMax, Trello, and Bluebeam, to plan, coordinate, and communicate effectively
• Perform other related duties as required to support successful project delivery

What It Takes to Succeed

• Detail-oriented and analytical — you notice when numbers or drawings don't add up
• Organized and efficient — able to manage multiple priorities without losing focus
• Strong communicator with the ability to work with all personality types
• Comfortable holding people accountable while maintaining positive relationships
• Able to adapt quickly and solve problems in a fast-paced environment
• Confident with computers, numbers, and written communication
• Self-motivated, reliable, and driven to get things done right the first time

• Safety-minded, proactive, and willing to learn continuously

What We're Looking For

• Technical diploma or degree in Construction, Engineering, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience in construction, with some exposure to project management
• Strong computer skills (knowledge with Chat GPT, Excel, Outlook, MS Project, Bluebeam, Trello, SiteMax is not required, but would be an asset)
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Valid driver's license without any major infractions
• Ability to work in a collaborative, high-performance team environment

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Competitive vacation and paid holidays

• Hours: 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday
• Health & wellness coverage (prescriptions, dental, vision)
